The grieving Sawant family may find some solace in the heartfelt blessings of the kin of those recipients, who can now start a new life after being doubtful about recovery and waiting for organs.
Sangita has silently contributed to the body and eye donation movement, which essentially should be carried forwarded by one and all.
