Minister for Health and Family welfare U T Khader on Wednesday took an accident victim to hospital in his car.
The minister, who was on his way back from the Kempegowda International Airport, noticed a traffic jam on Yelahanka flyover. An auto driver, Stalin, a resident of K G Halli, was severly injured as his auto had toppled.
He immediately took the injured in his car to hospital. “We thought of taking him to Columbia Asia Hospital. However, we rushed him to K C General Hospital so as to reduce financial burden on him,” Khader said.
This is the second time that the health minister has helped an accident victim reach hospital in time in his car. A similar incident had taken place about a month ago when the minister, who was on his way to an iftar party at the Palace Grounds, had lent a helping hand to a couple.
