UK Chapter of Press Union Provides Financial Aid for Treatment of Kanchanpur Chairman

London. The United Kingdom chapter of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) has provided financial assistance for the treatment of Suresh Dhami, the Chairman of the FNJ Kanchanpur chapter. The UK chapter collected 65,500 Rupees to support Dhami, who is undergoing treatment at the KMC Hospital in Sinamangal, Kathmandu, due to a tumor in his pancreas.

The collected amount was handed over to the FNJ Central Chairperson Nirmala Sharma at the central office by a team from the FNJ UK chapter, which included Secretary Bishwadeep Tigela and Executive Committee Member Wachaspati Regmi.

Dhami, who has been hospitalized for a long time due to serious health issues, incurred high treatment costs due to surgery and subsequent infection. As Dhami lacked strong alternative sources of income besides journalism, his family appealed for assistance when facing financial difficulties for his treatment. Based on that appeal, the central office coordinated with the UK chapter for support.

Upon receiving the funds, the FNJ stated that this support from journalist colleagues abroad during a time of crisis would provide significant relief. The FNJ also expressed its gratitude to the UK chapter for the assistance.

The FNJ UK chapter has previously provided various forms of support to journalists facing emergencies and crises repeatedly.
