Mishra said the patient, whom he adopted, was admitted to the hospital for 108 days, and is not only well now but has also gained four kg weight.

He advised people to adopt at least one TB patient below 18 years of age. Mishra said the patient's identity must be kept secret so that the person may not develop inferiority complex.

According to the District Information Officer Vinod Kumar Sharma, several officers here have adopted a TB patient after the governor's call.
