MALDA, Jan. 18: Residents of Budhia village in the English Bazaar block today joined a prayer session to pray for the life of an ailing boy affected with hypo-plastid anaemia which is considered to be a fatal disease. Hundreds of locals today flocked to the house of the 12-year-old boy, Abdul Bashir, to watch the soothsayers carry out his treatment. The boy's poor parents had to summon the soothsayers as they have failed to provide for his treatment in Kolkata as it is costly. According to them, on the advise of the Malda district hospital doctors, they had admitted the boy at the SSKM where he was injected 15 bottles of blood platelets. But investigations revealed that Bashir's body could not receive the blood because he suffers from hypo-plastid anaemia. The treatment requires plenty of money and so we had to bring him back home, his parents said. Today, the BMOH along with English Bazaar panchayat samiti chief, Mr Ekram Hossain, visited the boy's house. The BMOH, Dr Biplab Mallik, said: "There is no hope. It is a deadly disease and treatment is not possible at Malda." Mr Hossain said that they would try to admit the boy at SSKM.
