Jhenaidah Correspondent: The mentally handicapped child of Kaliganj in Jhenaidah has become the mother of a handsome looking child but no one has become a father.
She gave birth to a baby girl at Kaliganj Upazila Health Complex on Friday afternoon. When the labor pains started in the morning, Amjad Chakiron, a day laborer from Maydharpur village of the upazila, was admitted to Kaliganj Hospital with the help of local people’s representatives and media personnel.
After a serious effort by the hospital authorities, the child was born around 4 pm. Local MP Anwarul Azim Anar, Jhenaidah Deputy Commissioner Saroj Kumar Nath and Upazila Nirbahi Officer Subarna Rani Saha are inquiring about the treatment of the mentally handicapped.
It may be mentioned that an unidentified 22/23 year old mentally handicapped woman used to roam in Kolabazar of the upazila. Sometimes he would wrap his dirty clothes around his body and sometimes he would say something with a half-naked face. When someone says something, it never comes.
Never seen again in a cold mood. But a week ago, he fell ill on the side of the road in Maydharpur village. He could see with his eyes but there was no movement. At that time pedestrians and villagers started crowding. As the night deepens, it decreases. But the helpless sick man is someone’s child or sister.
Considering this, several people including Amjad Ali Abdur Rashid of the village rushed him to Kaliganj Hospital. But the doctor on duty saw the patient and said that the girl was pregnant. Now she needs adequate food and rest. First aid was given. After that, as soon as he got well, he started lying in bed and started unbearable madness. Makes the whole hospital area restless. He was forced to rent a car and go to the area again.
After that many people wanted to give shelter but all of them avoided it due to instability. But in such a situation, day laborer Amjad Ali could not release the sick lunatic due to conscience. Thinking of the unborn child, she took him to her home and took care of him. Although Amjad has a family of day laborers, his wife Chhikiran Nesha takes care of him as a member of his family. Highlighting their importance, the report was published under the headline “Example of Humanity of Day Worker Amjad”.
Later on Friday afternoon at Kaliganj Hospital, the Amjad-Chhakiran couple was very happy when they gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
Afsana Parveen, medical officer of Kaliganj Hospital, said the baby was taken out through a small operation as it was not normal before she was born. However, the mother and the newborn are still healthy.
Kaliganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer Subarna Rani Saha said that after receiving the news, she contacted the hospital and told about the helpless disabled. He will be by her side in any need.
Jhenaidah Deputy Commissioner Saroj Kumar Nath said that they must have shown kindness to the disabled mother. He said that despite being a day laborer, the Amjad-Chhakiran couple are serving the disabled like a member of the family and the family deserves to be thanked. He further said that all measures have been taken for the treatment of newborns.
