NEW DELHI: A 13-year-old school girl, who had come to perform in the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort, fell unconscious due to heat and dehydration, while an exhausted photojournalist collapsed when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was delivering his address at the venue today.
The girl, Fiza, a Class 7 student of the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, in Old Delhi, was rushed to the LNJP Hospital.
“She collapsed when the national anthem was about to end. A few of us and a staff member carried her off on a stretcher to an ambulance soon after the event,” Ariba, a fellow student, said.
