 | | ANGRY: Rahim Khan (left) says he has not been told of grandson Mudassir Rehman’s condition. One side of his face has been burnt | Relatives of the victims of Monday’s tragedy at Jogeshwari are irritated with the constant visitors at Masina Hospital, Byculla. More so because they themselves are not allowed to do so. “We’re not being allowed in, but these politicians are and they’re only doing it for media exposure,” said Abid Munshi, whose niece Surraiya (9) is in the ICU ward with 70 per cent burns.
Mudassir Rehman’s (7) grandfather Rahim Khan too is miffed.
“We have had no news of him since Cooper Hospital on Monday, where we were told that he is in a serious condition and that he’s burnt one side of his face,” he said. “We have no idea of what’s happened since.”
Plastic surgeon Dr Sunil Keswani at the hospital said the children are still in an unstable state.
“They have been receiving highly concentrated oxygen. They first need to be observed for seven days before considering future options. None will be shown a mirror for at least two months,” he said.
Teachers’ advice
Meanwhile, teachers from Millat High School, who had visited the hospital to offer condolences yesterday, say they had been advising parents to use school buses instead of private vans for three years now. “We have 14 buses that meet all RTO requirements, but parents still choose vans since they pick their children up from below their houses,” said a primary school teacher. |
