Vadodara: Vadodara cops aren’t only heeding to the SOS messages within the city but are also attending to the needy as far as in Karamsad in Anand during the lockdown.
Nandikesh Vyas, a resident of Anand, was in dire need of a medicine for his 19-year-old daughter Devanshi, a thalaessemia patient. Admitted to a trust-run hospital in Karamsad due to accumulation of iron in the body, the medicine was very crucial for Vyas. However, it was not available anywhere in Anand. On Friday, through a local group of thalassaemia patients in Anand, Vyas learnt that the medicine is available in Vadodara.
“I contacted IPS officer Subhash Trivedi, who is our community member and my childhood friend. When I told him about my condition, he immediately contacted senior police officials in Vadodara,” said Vyas, who makes his living by selling incense sticks.
Trivedi, deputy inspector general of border range, called up joint police commissioner of Vadodara police, K G Bhati, and informed him about the availability of the particular medicine. Bhati asked cops from Gotri police station to procure the medicine immediately and deliver it at Anand.
“I will always be indebted to the police for their help and the immediate service. I got the medicine within five hours,” Vyas added.
“I got to know that the man’s daughter is in a critical condition and so we sent the medicine through our staffer immediately. We will keep going even where our jurisdiction is not there for all humanitarian work,” Bhati added.
However, fate had other plans and on Saturday morning, Vyas lost his daughter Devanshi, who had been on the ventilator for the last two days. “We got the medicine a day before, but the nature had its own will,” a teary-eyed Vyas told TOI.
