The way people have showered their love and affection through contributions has generated a fresh hope, say family members
Amrit Pradhan, a 24-year-old youth, is neither a celebrity nor does he belong to an affluent family in Odisha. But, a special team of doctors from the Apollo Hospital, Chennai, came here to shift him in an air-ambulance possibly for a lung transplant. Amidst the all-pervasive gloom and pessimism during the pandemic, the airlifting of the unemployed youth has thrown up an example of community bonding and camaraderie. Following an emotional appeal from the family members, people from across the country have raised close to ₹60 lakh helping the youth continue his battle against COVID-19.
