Jajrakot, Sept 11: Bir Bahadur BK of Nayakbada-8 in Jajarkot district, who was suffering from leprosy and living in a jungle for lack of treatment due to financial crunch, has been rescued. He is now receiving treatment in Surkhet.
The INF, Surkhet, an social organisation, rescued BK on September 1 after the news ‘Problems in treatment due to financial crunch’ was disseminated from the Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS) on August 27.
