During the National CSR Awards function, President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday attended to a policewoman who had apparently twisted her ankle and slipped during an awards function in Delhi. He was accompanied by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs Anurag Thakur, who too were present at the occasion.
The Delhi policewoman was standing in front of the dias at Vigyan Bhawan during the first National CSR Awards function.
When the national anthem was being played, she fell and sat on the carpet, according to news agency PTI.
Soon after the national anthem was over, President was seen talking to Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur and then along with security walked down from the dais. Kovind had a brief conversation with the policewoman after Thakur offered her a bottle of water. Sitharaman too kept on smiling affably at the police woman.
Generally, the President leaves the venue immediately after the national anthem.
There was a loud applause from the audience when Kovind walked out from the venue.
