  "account": "Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): A 40-year-old software engineer, Narendra Rajak, from Gupteshwar, was declared brain-dead after a road accident on October 31. His family made the decision to donate his organs, providing hope to six people. The heart and liver were flown to Ahmedabad via chartered aircraft, while his kidneys will be transplanted locally. His eyes and skin were also donated. Born in Jabalpur, Narendra worked at HCL in Nagpur and was survived by his wife Pooja, 12-year-old daughter Bhumika, and eight-year-old son Devansh. On the fateful day, Narendra was returning from a Ganga Pujan ceremony at his relative's home in Mankedi-Kuakheda when an unidentified vehicle struck him. Despite his wife's grief, she agreed to organ donation, emphasizing that Narendra's organs could save lives. Her husband typically wore a helmet, but was not wearing one at the time of the accident. Dr Rajiv Baderia of Metro Prime Hospital organized the transportation of organs, with green corridors set up. Around 60-68 doctors assisted in the process. One kidney will be transplanted at Jabalpur Medical College and another at Metro Prime Hospital, with the donated skin preserved at the Medical College's skin bank. A special night flight was arranged as Dumna Airport, nearest to the accident site, does not operate at night. SDM Madan Raghuvanshi commended the family's decision and confirmed that the administration helped in the transportation arrangements.",
