Patna: Anshumala was a popular voice in Bihar few years ago. Class topper from Miranda House in Delhi University, Anshumala had won many awards for her classical singing. However, the lady today is languishing on the bed of a Patna hospital.
Both of Anshumala’s kidneys had stopped functioning after complications which developed during her child’s birth.
Her poor parents are unable to meet the expense of kidney transplantation and her in-laws have abandoned the ailing singer. Even the state government has so far turned a deaf ear to her plight.
However, ‘The Rising Bihar’, a community on the social networking site Facebook has stepped forward to support the woman.
“We have started a movement on Facebook to raise fund for Anshumala’s treatment. So far we have collected Rs 50,000 for the noble cause,†said Atul Mishra, a founding member of The Rising Bihar.
Anshumala’s father is a junior cop in Bihar police and is trying his best to get his daughter treated. However, exorbitant medical fees have shattered all his hopes.
“Anshumala is a pride of our state and we will make all effort to rejuvenate her,†said Atul.
