Renu said today, “It’s true that I’ve lost my fingers and palm. Still, in the last month, I’ve learnt to believe that the society is much more cooperative than I could ever imagine. Also, the health administration that works under a merciful woman like our chief minister, has also given me the confidence to fight back.”
Renu was taken to the block primary health centre at Kurmun by her family members where she received the official joining letter. The chief medical officer of East Burdwan, Dr Pranab Roy said, “She’s working in my office temporarily. She’s got her official posting today.”
