Nirmal Sen sent to Singapore for treatment


Ailing veteran journalist and politician Nirmal Sen was sent to Singapore for treatment last night.

Nirmal Sen will be admitted to Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital today, says a Sramik Krishak Samajbadi Dal press release.

His nephew Kankan Sen and party central leader Mosaddek Hossain Shawpan and his daughter Dr. Trisha Mosaddek accompanied him.

He had been undergoing treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital.

Prime Minister Khaleda Zia donated Tk 5 lakh and Awami League General Secretary Abdul Jalil and some left-leaning politicians gave Tk 6 lakh on Thursday for his treatment.

Nirmal Sen, chief of the left-leaning Sramik Krishak Samajbadi Dal, suffered a brain stroke on October 11 that left him partially paralysed.
