Bhiwandi mother pleads for government support to cover her son Nagesh Bhoir's medical expenses, who has been bedridden for 17 years following a Dahi Handi accident. The Bhoir family resides in Gauripada-Kaneri area of Bhiwandi and currently struggles to afford Nagesh's continuous medical care. Nagesh, 24 at the time of the accident, suffered severe injuries when a human pyramid collapsed during a Dahi Handi celebration, leading to his prolonged bedridden state.
He relies on his family for daily needs and visits the hospital every two months for medical care. Despite receiving assistance from friends and well-wishers, the family's financial situation has worsened due to the relentless medical bills. Nagesh's father, who previously worked, has since retired, leaving the household with his parents and elder sister.
The family now seeks a permanent arrangement to ensure Nagesh's treatment and medical expenses are adequately covered without depending on periodic donations. Nagesh appeals to Govindas across the country to prioritize safety while celebrating Dahi Handi, emphasizing that an accident can drastically alter a family's life in an instant.
His plea comes amid growing Dahi Handi events, often marked by large prizes and political competition, highlighting the need for a sustainable solution to support Nagesh's long-term medical requirements.
