ODISHA Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday said the government is ensuring the "best possible treatment" for the 20-year-old student who set herself on fire on college campus in Balasore after allegedly being denied justice in a sexual harassment complaint.
The student, admitted to AIIMS Bhubaneswar, remains on ventilator support with 95 per cent burn injuries, and her condition is described as "highly critical" by hospital authorities.
Majhi, who was on a tour to Delhi, rushed to AIIMS Bhubaneswar as soon as he reached the airport on Sunday and spoke to doctors and family members of the victim.
The student, admitted on Saturday evening, continues to be on critical care support.
"About 95 per cent of her body has suffered severe burns. Her kidneys and lungs are also affected due to the fire and smoke inhalation," Dr. Ashutosh Biswas, executive director, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, told reporters here on Sunday.
Hospital officials said there were no signs of improvement.
An eight-member expert medical team has been constituted, comprising specialists from anesthesiology, pulmonary medicine, nephrology, burns, and plastic surgery.
The committee is authorised to co-opt any additional experts as needed.
