IANS reported that Nidhi Pandey, a housewife from Lakhimpur Kheri, 167-km from Lucknow, contacted the helpline of a local news channel offering to donate a kidney to Koppad. Pandey was deeply moved by Hanumanthappa's story.
Koppad, who is facing a tough hurdle on his road to recovery is severely dehydrated, hypothermic, hypoxic, hypoglycemic and in shock. According to the report, he has been diagnosed with pneumonia, his liver and kidney are dysfunctional, and continues to have low blood pressure.
The 33-year-old soldier miraculously survived, according to reports, as he was trapped with an air pocket around him, which trapped air and body heat.
Meanwhile, the nation continues to pray for the lone survivor of the tragedy that claimed nine lives.
