Hello Bhavna. My name is Syed Reyaz and I am working in the Fire & Emergency Department in Jammu and Kashmir. I am a fireman and I fell from the ladder on duty while firefighting. I have suffered a spinal cord injury but my department cannot help me. I don’t have Mediclaim either. What can I do?

Hello Syed. Thank you for writing to Newz Hook. We are sorry to hear about the fall and the injury you have suffered.

You can contact the NGO Nina Foundation, which is reaching out to people with spinal cord injuries across India. This is the link to their website – http://www.ninafoundation.org/. You can also email them at ninafoundation@gmail.com and ketnam@gmail.com.
