In a remarkable show of compassion, Prime Minister Eknath Shinde stopped his convoy to help a seriously injured person on the BKC bridge while traveling from Mumbai to Thane. The incident took place late on the night of November 1, after a meeting at the official residence of Chief Minister Varsha Bangalow. As CM Shinde’s vehicle approached the bridge, he saw a man lying injured on the roadway with a motorcycle nearby, indicating that he had been involved in an accident.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, CM Shinde immediately ordered his convoy to stop and stepped outside to assess the scene. On reaching the injured youth, the chief minister learned that the man had sustained injuries due to a motorcycle accident.

Without hesitation, Shinde summoned a team of doctors to accompany him. They immediately provided first aid to the victim and arranged for his transportation to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

This heartwarming act has received a lot of attention, especially after a video of the incident went viral on social media.

The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) later confirmed the details and commended Shinde for his sensitivity, noting that even amid the hectic pace of election campaigns, he showed genuine concern for the welfare of an injured person.
