No step taken yet to send ailing Nirmal Sen abroad

Nirmal Sen, 76, suffered a brain stroke on October 11, leaving him paralysed down his left side and unable to see, talk and eat. His condition has not improved in the past three weeks, doctors said.

He is now undergoing treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital.

On October 28, the second medical board headed by pro-VC of the university recommended sending Nirmal Sen overseas immediately.

A group of individuals had appealed to the government to send the ailing politician abroad. Even two ministers assured them of looking into the matter, but no step in this regard has yet been taken.

His political colleagues and well-wishers, however, have collected about 20 per cent of the amount needed for the treatment, sources said.
