West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee endured a harrowing incident on Thursday, March 14, when she suffered a significant head injury that led to her hospitalization. The incident unfolded as Banerjee was traveling in her car, a customary position for her being the front passenger. However, an unexpected jerk in the vehicle propelled her towards the windshield, resulting in a severe injury that necessitated immediate medical attention.

The gravity of the situation was underscored by the All India Trinamool Congress, the party to which Banerjee belongs, who shared alarming details about her condition. Through a post on social media platform X, the party revealed that Banerjee had sustained major injuries to her forehead. In poignant images accompanying the post, Banerjee was seen lying on a hospital bed, with a deep cut visible in the center of her forehead and traces of blood on her face.

Reports indicate that the Chief Minister’s injury occurred following a fall at her residence, after which she was promptly rushed to the SSKM Hospital in Kolkata. Medical professionals swiftly attended to her, with efforts focused on stitching the wound and providing necessary care.

The news of Banerjee’s injury has reverberated across political circles and the public at large, prompting an outpouring of support and concern. The Trinamool Congress issued a heartfelt plea, urging citizens to keep Banerjee in their thoughts and prayers as she confronts this challenging ordeal.
