ReplyDelete"severely injured persons have been referred to a private nursing home in Siliguri "
how come a State as rich as Sikkim (highest fountain in the world, etc, etc , etc) have to rush their injured to sharks in Siliguri. from a State capital to a sub-divisional town..
not only are these poor idiots going to get ripped right and left, they spoil the market.
when news that they were being taken down travelled to Siliguri, there must have been delighted refrains of সিক্কিম থেকে মুর্গা আয়েশে to capitalise on the misery of these unfortunates..
