Singer Subir Nandi to be taken to Singapore

Secretariat Correspondent: Critically ill legendary singer Subir Nandi will be taken to Singapore tomorrow (Monday) for better treatment at the directives of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“Ekushey Padak-winning singer Subir Nandi, now undergoing treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka, will be flown to Singapore tomorrow for better treatment by an air ambulance at the directives of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,” Prime Minister's Deputy Press Secretary Ashraful Alam Khokon told the media on Sunday.

Musician and composer Subir Nandi was admitted to Dhaka CMH on April 14 after he suffered a massive heart attack.

Since then, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is constantly monitoring the treatment of the critically ill singer.

On April 19, singers Kumar Biswajit, Tapan Chowdhury, Rafiqul Alam and noted physician Dr Samanta Lal Sen met the premier at Ganabhaban to apprise her of the updates of the treatment of the legendary singer.

The prime minister directed Dr Samanta Lal Sen to send all medical papers of Subir Nandi to Singapore and take opinion of the expert physicians of that country. “Steps will be taken later accordingly,” she said.

PM’s deputy press secretary said that earlier the prime minister extended all kinds of cooperation for Subir Nandi’s treatment for two times in 1998.
