Lakhimpur Kheri/ Mumbai: As the nation prays for Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad, the Siachen miracle survivor, a homemaker and an ex-sailor have offered to donate their organs to save the braveheart.
Lance Naik Koppad battles for his life at Delhi's Army hospital after being rescued alive almost a week after a kilometre-wide wall of ice buried an Army post in Siachen.
Moved by his condition, Nidhi Pandey, a homemaker from Lakhimpur Kheri's Padaria Tula village today offered to donate a kidney to the Lance Naik.
"It was being broadcast in the news channels that his condition is extremely critical as his liver and kidneys are not functioning properly," she said, adding that she felt that something more should be done for the soldier apart from prayers.
She said that is the reason why she decided to donate her kidney, if required.
"With my husband's consent, I expressed my wish to a news channel through its helpline number that flashed on the screen," Pandey said.
She said she has taken the decision as it could benefit the soldier serving the nation.
SS Raju, an Indian Navy's ex-sailor, has also expressed his willingness to donate any organ of his body to save the life of "fellow-brother".
"I request doctors at the Army Hospital (R&R) to contact me immediately and I can go to New Delhi... I am ready to donate any organ, including liver, kidney... We must save our fellow brother who is critical," Mr Raju said.
