Limon to get artificial leg free of cost

Centre for Disability in Development (CDD), a non-government organisation, has come forward to provide Limon Hossain an artificial leg free of cost.
Officials of CDD yesterday met with Limon at his hospital bed at National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, took the measurement of his leg and talked with his doctors.
Though three days have passed after filing of a complaint with a Jhalakathi court by Limon's mother against six Rab-8 personnel, it was not recorded as a case by Rajapur Police Station.
Limon's family alleged that the court order reached the police station on Monday but it was not recorded as a case till yesterday.
Executive Director of CDD AHM Noman Khan told The Daily Star they met Limon along with his doctors at 11:00 am.
The officials showed Limon photographs of an artificial limb and demonstrated its use.
The CDD executive director hoped that with this artificial limb, Limon will be able to walk and participate in limited sport activities.
There will be another operation on Limon's leg next week, and after that he will be taken to the CDD office at Savar. Limon will be able to walk on artificial leg within about one and a half months, the CDD officials said.
When asked about his comment on prosthetic leg, Limon said that he is very much optimistic about its use. “I will be able to walk again,” he said.
Limon and his family alleged that none from any investigation committee has yet talked with Limon or any of his family members about the incident.
Limon's mother Henu Ara Begum also expressed her apprehension whether she will get justice under the given circumstances.
