CM Mohan Yadav Visits AIIMS Bhopal to Support Accident Victims
MP CM Mohan Yadav visited AIIMS Bhopal to meet and assure medical aid to victims of the Kota and Gwalior road accidents.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav visited AIIMS Bhopal on Wednesday to meet with individuals injured in two separate, devastating road accidents—one in Kota, Rajasthan, and another near the Sheetla Mata Temple in Gwalior. During his visit, the Chief Minister personally interacted with the patients and their families, promising that the state government would ensure they receive the highest quality medical care.
Tragedy in Kota: Betul Residents Affected
The visit follows a major road accident that occurred in Kota, Rajasthan, on October 17. The crash involved several residents from the Betul district of Madhya Pradesh, resulting in multiple injuries and some fatalities. In a swift response, the Madhya Pradesh state government coordinated with the Rajasthan administration to transfer the injured victims to AIIMS Bhopal for specialized treatment.
Accompanying the Chief Minister was the state BJP chief, Hemant Khandelwal. Providing further details via a post on X, Khandelwal noted that 14 residents from five different villages in the Multai area of Betul district were admitted to the hospital. He shared a glimmer of hope, stating that two patients had already been discharged on Tuesday, and two more were expected to be discharged on Wednesday after showing significant recovery.
Gwalior Horror: Truck Crashes into Temple Devotees
The Chief Minister also extended his support to the victims of a horrific incident in Gwalior. In the early hours of October 18, an out-of-control truck tore through a police checkpoint and crashed into a crowd of devotees gathered near the Sheetla Mata Temple. The impact was so severe that the truck damaged the temple's outer wall and gate.
The tragedy claimed over a dozen lives and left several others injured. Due to the severity of their conditions, two critically injured patients were airlifted to AIIMS Bhopal on Tuesday evening, where they are currently receiving intensive care.
Government Commitment to Recovery
During the hospital visit, CM Mohan Yadav and Hemant Khandelwal spoke with the attending doctors to receive detailed updates on the health status of all patients. Khandelwal emphasized that the state government remains fully committed to the recovery of every victim.
"The MP government, under the leadership of the Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, is committed to providing the best possible treatment to all the injured," Khandelwal stated, adding that the health of the victims is being monitored continuously.
The Chief Minister and the BJP state chief concluded their visit by offering prayers for the speedy and complete recovery of all those fighting for their lives and health at the premier medical institute.
