Jalandhar | Monday | 18th September, 2017

Summary:

“I felt so helpless and angry that at that moment, I thought of cremating my father’s body instead of giving it to the hospital,” said Amarjit in a shaking voice. Such was his motivation to serve society that he decided to donate his body in 2007 to the Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). The doctor asked them the distance of the village from Jalandhar city and replied that a vehicle would be sent in the morning. He said the doctor asked them to arrange their own vehicle, which Singh said upset the family. Dr Kanwaljit Singh, resident director of PIMS, said the vehicle was not sent due to its non-availability..
