We got a proposal of the cost of treatment prepared by the doctor of Raipur AIIMS and went to the residence of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai and submitted an application to him for help in treatment. Taking prompt action on the application given by us, Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai approved a total of 05 lakh 29 thousand rupees for the heart surgery of my father.
