AS officers are often known for their tough behavior and composure during difficult situations.

Speaking to the hospital authorities over the condition of a child critically injured in the accident, Jacob can be heard asking why no one has examined the patient yet. After a person assures that he had just examined the patient, the IAS officer wonders if the child has suffered a fracture as he can’t move.

“Isko kuchh zarurat hai na…ye hil nahi paa raha hai…kuch fracture hoga yahan pe. (He is in need of something…he is unable to move…may be there’s a fracture.)”

She also inquired with the authorities whether a doctor can be called in there instead of referring the patient since the family cannot afford the cost.

 

“Tears in my eyes… Salute to her”, said Congress leader Alka Lamba responding to the video.

The accident took place on the Aira bridge on the National Highway 730, around 30 kilometers from the district headquarters, PTI reported quoting DSP Pritam Pal Singh. “The bus was on its way to Lucknow from Dhaurhara when it collided with the mini-truck coming from the opposite direction”.
