College students contribute Rs 12.5 lakh for treatment of kid

Salem (TN), March 23: Moved by the plight of a thalassaemia-hit seven-year old girl, students of two private colleges here have donated Rs 12.50 lakh for her treatment.

The girl was required to undergo blood transfusion and bone marrow transplant which would cost Rs 30 lakh and her father Abdul, an icecream vendor, has appealed to the public to help him financially to meet the medical expenditure.
