Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again stepped in to provide succour to a family in distress. Two young boys from Kanpur Sushant Mishra (13) and Tanmay Mishra (8) wrote to the Prime Minister saying that their very poor father, who ekes out a living as a labourer, has fallen ill.
“Our father suffers from a breathing problem, his treatment was being funded by friends and family but that support has dried up now”, they wrote to Modi.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) responded by assuring free treatment to their father Manoj Mishra.
Mishra said that his sons wrote the letter seeking medical help for him. The family will now write to the state government for financial aid as well so that the boys' fees and house rent can be paid.
This isn't the first time when PMO has come to the rescue of kids. In May last year, an 8-year-old girl with a hole in her heart was assured medical treatment by the Prime Minister. A few months later, the PMO promised another 8-year-old kid the finishing of a delayed flyover construction that was coming in the way of his studies.
