CM Majhi Visits AIIMS-Bhubaneswar to Enquire about Health Condition of FM College Student
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi visited AIIMS-Bhubaneswar on Sunday to check on the health of student of Fakir Mohan (Autonomous) College, who is receiving treatment for severe burn injuries.
The 20-year-old student Soumyashree Bisi on Saturday set herself on fire outside the principal’s office, following months of relentless “sexual harassment” by her Head of Department.
After consulting with the medical team, the Chief Minister announced that a group of specialists would conduct a virtual consultation with experts from AIIMS Delhi to ensure optimal treatment for the student.
Arriving at the hospital directly from Delhi, the Chief Minister noted that Bisi’s critical condition currently prevents her from being airlifted to AIIMS Delhi.
The next 24 hours are critical. A dedicated team of doctors is treating her, and they will collaborate with AIIMS Delhi specialists to guide her treatment. The state government is fully committed to supporting the girl and her family, he said.
He also met with the student’s parents, promising full support and strict action against those responsible for the incident.
The Chief Minister further stated that the Higher Education Department has already taken action against a teacher and the principal of Fakir Mohan College.
Earlier, BJD President and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Odisha Assembly Naveen Patnaik has urged Governor Hari Babu Kambhamapati to ensure that the student, who set herself afire over alleged sexual harassment by her teacher, receives justice.
The BJD supremo expressed deep anguish over the incident on social media, calling it “shocking and deeply distressing.
In a heartfelt post on X, he prayed for the student’s speedy recovery and urged the Governor of Odisha, who also serves as the Chancellor of state-run universities, to intervene and ensure justice is served.
