BJP to Give Rs. 10 lakh to Maharashtra Doctor's Family

Mumbai: Sept. 26, 2008

The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday announced its decision to give Rs. 10 lakh to the family of Dr. Chandrakant of Maharashtra who, in a tragic incident, died after being hit by lightening while trying to provide medical care to flood victims in North Bihar a few days ago.

Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi who is in Mumbai to participate in a party meet to coordinate flood relief in Bihar said Dr. Chandrakant Patil, a resident of Dhule in Maharashtra, sacrificed his life for the benefit of mankind.

"Dr. Patil was the only son of Umakant Patil. While we cannot bring back his son, it is our duty to ensure his family is well taken care of and for that we have decided to give Rs. 10 lakh to the victim's family," Modi said.

The BJP leader also talked with Umakant Patil on the phone and expressed his condolence over his son's sudden and tragic death.

He then met with his colleagues at his medical school at the KEM Hospital and mourned the death of their friend.

As reported previously, Dr. Patil died on Sept. 22 at a relief camp in Kataiya village in Supaul district when a lightning struck his tent as he relaxed with some other doctors after a hard day of work.

Three other doctors were hurt in the freak accident.

Dr. Patil was a part of the relief camp organized by noted film director Prakash Jha.
