Barnala, May 29

Krishan Kumar, who is suffering from various ailments, had been lying in the grain market here for the last eight months without food and clothes.

However, after the PCR cops saw him, they informed Sandeep Goel, SSP, Barnala, who got him admitted to the Civil Hospital for treatment.

“After suffering from various ailments, I had been lying in the grain market. I am thankful to the SSP who got me admitted here for treatment,” Krishan said.

Doctors are trying to treat his multiple problems, including avascular necrosis hip and rheumatoid arthritis.

“Krishan was in good health one-and-a-half years ago and was earning his livelihood by selling vegetables, but after his rehri was hit by a vehicle, he suffered fracture in the backbone. Later, due to financial issues, he couldn’t get proper treatment. We have started his treatment,” said Dr Harish Kumar.

The SSP said he had asked doctors to provide the best treatment to Krishan. “We will arrange the required money for him,” he added.
