The legislator not only ensured their admission to the hospital but also personally oversaw their treatment.
As reports emerged about the gravity of the accident, Kushwaha took to social media to express his commitment: “After admitting all the injured victims in the road accident near Pidoura village to Bhind hospital, I personally reached the hospital and took stock of the condition of the victims and on that basis, arranged for their proper treatment and sent the more seriously injured victims to Gwalior for treatment,” wrote the legislator on his X handle.
