There was head-on collision with a speeding bus which jumped the road divider and directly hit BNHS vehicle. Both Isaac and the driver were gravely injured and had to be rushed to the nearest hospital. Isaac had to be operated upon as he had broken femer bone and had many bruises. Now he is out-of-danger. The condition of the driver was more serious but he is also hopefully out of danger. I wanted to go yesterday itself to help Isaac and others but as he was taken to ICU, they advised me not to come. Today morning, along with Dr Ashok Kothari, I visited the hospital and met Isaac and the driver. Isaac was able to talk. His family and BNHS staff are looking after him. I met the driver's brother and promised him that we will look after all medical expenses as the driver was on BNHS duty. A FIR has been lodged against the bus driver - he is in police custody. I am sending Admin Officer Mr Mathews along with some other staff to see that the FIR is properly worded. We have also contacted the insurance company for site inspection. We have taken many pictures of the smashed vehicle which can be produced for record. If any member wants to contact Isaac's wife, Nandini, please contact her on 09773795139. I shall keep you informed. I have cancelled my Delhi visit as I want to be here to see the developing situation for the next few days. Yesterday I informed about the accident to Mr Deshmukh, Mr Homi, Mr Daniel and some staff members. Asad Rahmani -- Enjoy
