Dahi Handi celebrations can also turn into a nightmare for many Govindas. The highlight of the Dahi Handi celebration is the intricate skill of building human pyramids, which represents strength and brotherhood but causes injuries in Govindas. As each tier climbs higher in pursuit of the coveted pot of yogurt, Govindas are required to balance themselves and not doing so can result in severe injuries or lifelong disabilities. AIMS Hospital, Dombivli has now announced an emergency helpline number for providing timely intervention to injured Govindas to help them successfully navigate through traumatic brain injuries and orthopaedic injuries.
“The Dahi Handi festival sees participation from Govindas of all ages, from children to adults, who dedicate 3-4 months to creating human pyramids to reach a clay pot filled with curd. However, Govindas can face traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) due to unexpected falls and collisions. This can further cause severe, including the possibility of falling into a coma, paralysis, seizures, infections, headaches, damage to blood vessels, vertigo, hearing impairment, slurred speech, dizziness, loss of consciousness, difficulty swallowing, and memory issues. Some may need surgical intervention too. These TBIs can cause lifelong disabilities or even death. Such injuries can impact one's quality of life by making them bed-bound and dependent on family members for daily tasks. Govindas must follow safety guidelines during the festivities and prioritise their well-being by using protective gear like helmets and pads for elbows and knees as well as wristbands. To assist injured Govindas promptly during these celebrations, the emergency helpline is aimed at providing immediate medical assistance to help save lives. Reach out to us without any delay in case of severe injuries sustained by Govindas," said Dr. Kapil Khandelwal, Neurosurgeon, AIMS Hospital, Dombivli.
