Paralysed dahi handi player moved to Bhaktivedanta Hospital
A 25-year-old dahi handi participant, Suraj Kadam, who sustained a cervical spine injury leading to quadriplegia, has been moved to Bhaktivedanta Hospital for rehabilitation after a month-long hospitalization at KEM Hospital. Suraj's family decided to shift him due to lack of nursing support at KEM Hospital. Suraj's siblings have given up their studies and work to be with him. The doctors estimate that it will take four to five months of physiotherapy for Suraj to regain some movement. This year, there have been 195 serious injuries among dahi handi revellers.
