KOLKATA: From NRS Medical College that was her home for over a decade to Calcutta Pavlov Hospital where she is housed now, Barao Abdullah’s journey has been full of twists and turns. Believed to be from PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir), the 55-year-old has no one in Kolkata to call her own.
Yet, the city of joy didn’t let her down in times of need. Last week, Barao underwent cataract surgery in both eyes where the psychiatry department head Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital (CNMCH) became her guardian and signed documents needed as legal formalities for the surgery.
