A heart-wrenching video of a woman crying and pleading for help from bystanders to help her sexagenarian husband, a suspected COVID-19 patient, into an ambulance at Bongaon in West Bengal went viral and the apathy of the people seen around them has come in for flak. It showed 68-year-old Madhav Narayan Dutta sitting near an ambulance and panting as he made several unsuccessful attempts to climb into the ambulance, which was supposed to take him to a super speciality hospital in Kolkata. According to sources at the Bongaon sub-divisional hospital, Dutta was taken to the hospital around 7 pm onSaturday with complaints of breathing trouble and was admitted to the ward for suspected coronavirus patients. "The incident shows the poor state of health infrastructure in West Bengal," CPI leader SujanChakraborty said.
