MLA Hemanga Thakuria Extends Financial Support to Young Cancer Patient in Palasbari

By Abhijit Kalita
Palasbari, June 4 – In a heartfelt humanitarian gesture, Palasbari MLA Hemanga Thakuria on Wednesday visited the residence of 10-year-old Arnab Kashyap Kalita, a cancer patient from Hudumpur village under the Palasbari constituency, to offer financial assistance toward his ongoing treatment. The support was extended through the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

Arnab, the only child of Brajen Kalita and Barnali Kumari Kalita, has been fighting cancer for over two and a half years. Once an energetic Class 7 student who aspired to join the Indian Army, Arnab is now bedridden, his life upended by the disease. The prolonged treatment has placed immense financial strain on the family, making it difficult to pursue advanced care in Bengaluru.

Moved by the family’s struggle, MLA Thakuria handed over a one-time financial aid cheque to assist with the mounting medical costs. He also assured the family of continued support in the days ahead, offering not just financial help but also moral strength during this difficult time.

Despite this aid, the family remains far from meeting the total expenses required for Arnab’s treatment. They have issued an earnest appeal to the people of Assam and well-wishers beyond to come forward with any possible contribution. Those willing to support Arnab’s treatment may contact the family directly at 60001519990.
