Many individualsm institutions and business organisations have already donated funds for the treatment of the girl who is leaving for Delhi tomorrow with her father for admission to AIIMS .This has been arranged by the West Tripura MP and former chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb.

The DYFI through its organizational network has collected funds that has been handed over to Manasri’s father. The DYFI state secretariat member Gautam Ghosh, Dukli divisional committee secretary Shubhankar Majumder, state committee member Bijay Biswas and Hapania local committee secretary Ashish Chakraborty formed the team that handed over the cheque. They also appealed to the people to come forward and generously help build up a big fund for Mnasri’s treatment which is very costly.

Meanwhile, a specialist pediatric doctor S. Datta said that the entire treatment process of SMA which is a very rare condition is extremely costly . “Initially four injections will be given and this will entail a huge expense but then periodically the expensive injections will have to be given to prevent infection of lung and debilitating effect on heart ; hence continuous mobilization of fund will be required” he said . He added that to save the infant Manasri’s life government intervention will be required as soon as possible.
