AZIBOR RAHMAN, jhenidah
Worries have engulfed the families of 20 people seriously injured in a trainbus collision at Barobazar level crossing in Kaliganj upazila on Friday as they can not afford their treatment cost.
They are Ripon Saha, 30, Mithu Saha, 28, Mithun Saha, 25, Hari Das, 35, Nimai Biswas, 46, Dipok Saha, 60, Robi Biswas, 35, Ajit Biswas, 65, Sanjoy Biswas, 35, Renu Biswas, 65, Samir Biswas, 25, Liton Dey, 23, Aninda Joardar, 23, Sanada Biswas, 26, Amit Biswas, 11, Jibon Biswas, 30, Sudeb Biswas, 45, Rony Bagsi, 30, Amol Biswas, 18, and Palash Biswas, 24.
At least 11 people of Phulhori village in Shailkupa upazila while returning home by a bus from a wedding ceremony were killed and 60 others injured in the tragic accident.
Of the critically injured, six were admitted to the hospital in Dhaka, four to Faridpur Medical College and Hospital, five to Jessore Medical College and Hospital while the rest to Jhenidah Sadar Hospital.
Of them, some might die for want of treatment cost, lamented Bijoly Biswas who became widow ten years ago.
Four years back her elder son died while on Friday's accident, she lost her only son Biplob Biswas. She was sitting with her only granddaughter Bithika Biswas while talking to this correspondent.
A union parishad (UP) member, Anita Biswas of Phulhori village, said "Ripon Saha, Mithu Saha, and Mithun saha, who have been kept at the intensive care units (ICU) of different hospitals in the capital, are all unable to pay Tk 30,000 a day for their hospital expenses".
Despite repeated pleas,
the victims are yet to get any financial assistance from either the government or from any individual to bear the treatment cost, she said.
Meanwhile, Rob i Biswas is groaning in pain at Faridpur Medical
College and Hospital as his right wrist has been cut off, the UP member said, adding that the right leg of 11-year-old schoolboy Amit Biswas, who is undergoing treatment at Jessore Sadar Hospital, was amputated as it got
fractured.
Heaving a deep sigh, bridegroom Taposh said "It is really very sad that some heartless neighbours are blaming my newly-wed wife Jyotsna for the accident, branding her as a woman of ill omen".
