Chamarajanagar
Minister of Women and Child Welfare Lakshmi Hebbalkar showed humanity when she rushed to the aid of two youths who were suffering in a pool of blood on the road due to a head-on collision between a bike and an auto.
The minister was on his way to Mandya after attending a preliminary meeting in Chamarajanagar on the occasion of the implementation of Grilahakshmi Yojana. Two youths who were traveling on a bike near Doddapet Cross on Santhemaralli main road on the outskirts of the city were hit by an auto and fell on the spot and were suffering. The minister, who was moving on the same route, stopped his car and took the injured to the hospital in an ambulance. Despite the pressure of work, the Minister made all arrangements to transport the injured.
At this time, the locals requested that there should be compensation for the frequent accidents at Doddapet Cross. The humanitarian work of the Minister who helped the injured was appreciated by the locals. Even if there were any locals there, it would have been too late to save the youths who were lying in a pool of blood. By then, the young man was likely to die. However, Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar, who was coming the same way, got down from the car and took interest to protect the injured. Besides, she instructed her escort staff to rescue the youths who were fighting for their lives and take them to the hospital. Later, they were rushed to the hospital.
