The financial position of the family is in total jeopardy and her father had to seek Rs. fivelakh financial help from money lenders at the whopping interest rate of 10%. The RTI activist of Haldwani Gurvinder Singh Chadda and the newsviewsnetwork had published the detailed news and made it viral even planting it in the twitter handle of the chief minister Uttarakhand Trivendra Singh Rawat.

Several other patients have also been helped but many have also been left out.
