The younger brother had left the ground after running for two rounds
Due to the heat, younger brother Nirmit left the ground after two rounds and elder brother Govind continued running in his passion to get a job. Younger brother Nirmit came out of the race and was waiting for his brother. Then he got the information that about two dozen candidates fainted and fell down. Due to the critical condition, Govind was first admitted to the hospital in Giridih for primary treatment. Then at eight o’clock in the night he was referred to Dhanbad.
Seeing Govind’s critical condition in Dhanbad too, he was asked to be taken to RIMS Ranchi. But even after waiting for two hours in Ranchi’s RIMS, Govind was not admitted and Govind died. After Govind’s death, the family is crying inconsolably. The grief of the departure of the only earning son of the family is haunting not only his family members but the entire village. Govind was working as a sanitation worker in Gangra Panchayat itself.
The family demanded compensation from the government
Govind’s father became very emotional while talking to Aaj Tak. Govind’s father and younger son Nirmit say that Govind died due to the government’s negligence. Therefore, the government should take responsibility for Govind’s death. For this, the government should give compensation as well as a job to one member of the family.
