Modi comes to the rescue of an elderly woman who felt unwell at a Mysuru event

Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally came to the rescue of an elderly woman who was unwell at the inauguration of the COSMOS planetarium in Mysuru on Friday.

The woman, Prema Simbaiah, a former president of the Nanjangud Municipal Corporation and a BJP worker, appeared to be dizzy and on the verge of collapsing. Noticing her condition, Mr. Modi approached her and ensured that she received immediate attention. She was given the juice to heal.

Union Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was also present at the event.

Mysuru district BJP president Subbanna later visited Ms. Simbaiah at her residence to inquire about her health. He said she was doing well.

Ms Simbaiah thanked Mr Modi for coming to her aid and said she felt uncomfortable as she had not had lunch before arriving at the site. She expressed her gratitude to the Prime Minister for providing her with the juice and ensuring that she recovers.
