Agartala, Aug 24: An initiative of MP Lok Sabha Biplab Kumar Deb helped a youth from Tripura to get assistance from PM-CARES for treatment.

The youth- Diptanu Malakar (18) is a resident of Durgapara in Hapania, Agartala.

Diptanu was suffering from a renal condition that required transplantation with desensitization. There was a requirement of Rs. 9,35,600 for the treatment cost as estimated by the NH Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Kolkata.

Considering the family's financial constraints, Deb wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for providing assistance from the PM CARES Fund.

Deb’s initiative was successful, and the youth has been granted Rs. 3 lakh from the PM CARES Fund for the advanced medical treatment necessary for his condition.
