Thank you Trivendra Singh Rawat for helping Garima Joshi

Thank you, chief minister, Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat for being kind, passionate and generous enough to sanction about 13.10lakh rupees from the chief minister’s relief fund for the treatment of the budding athlete of Almora, Uttarakhand, Garima Joshi who was grievously injured in an accident in Bengaluru last month where she had gone to participate in a 10-kilometer marathon, representing Uttarakhand and sought the sixth position in this prestigious national event.

As per the senior journalist Manoj Ishtwal, the chief minister have been generous and kind enough to help this outstanding athlete not once but twice, first giving her 25 thousand rupees when she went to Bangalore to participate in the event and then Rs 13.10 lakhs for her complete treatment at the Spinal Injury Hospital at Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

A brave and courageous girl Garima Joshi got her spinal cord badly injured in the accident at Bengaluru where about sixteen rods were fitted around the spinal cord through a long surgery.

After a few days, she was shifted to Delhi for a full-fledged treatment at Spinal Injury Hospital Delhi. The chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat visited Bangalore and met the girl earlier to assure her every possible financial support.

The amount of Rs 13.10 lakhs sanctioned by the chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat will reach the hospital by the cheque which is likely to be delivered in a day or two.

It may be recalled that there had been tremendous posts in social networking sites like facebook appealing for supporting this outstanding sportswoman financially. The lead in this matter was taken by one Gurvinder Singh Chadda, an RTI activist from Haldwani to seek every possible financial support for Garima Joshi followed by me and Newsviewsnetwork.

About two lakh rupees were deposited in her father’s account but this was not enough for meeting her treatment expenditure.

The chief minister finally exhibited his generosity to do the needful by making necessary arrangements for shifting her to Delhi and bearing the entire expenses of her treatment.

Garima hails from a poor family and her mother is suffering from cancer. Her father had to mortgage his house and land under ten percent monthy interest arrangement and seek the financial help of Rs. five lakhs as being given to know through fb posts. Her brother is a utility worker in a restaurant in Mumbai say sources.
