Rupak Das, the youth who was undergoing treatment at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) has been discharged on Wednesday.

Rupak was the youth who was shifted to the GMCH for advanced health care on Monday after sustaining injuries in the train accident in Odisha that claimed 278 lives with nearly 1,100 injuries.     

Assam Health Minister Keshab Mahanta visited the GMCH today and took stock of the health condition of the youth and wished him a speedy recovery.

Rupak is a resident of Biswanath Chariali. He was brought to Guwahati under the supervision of Additional Director Medical Education Ranveer Bora and Joint Director Medical Education Dr. Syed Tanwir Alam.
