the reason why you reached office on time every day, got to your daughter or
son’s school without getting held up in traffic and kept an appointment.
Dorris Francis was there every morning,
rain, shine or smog, managing a chaotic intersection on NH-24 all by herself.
Since Diwali, though, that ‘post’ has fallen vacant as a crippling stomach pain
landed the 59-year-old in hospital. She was subsequently diagnosed with cancer.
“She is admitted at AIIMS and her condition
is not good. she has stomach cancer.” Her husband Victor, said om Monday.
Thiers is a family of modest means, and
Victor is worried about the cost of treatment. They have a small house in
Ghaziabad’s khora Colony, not far from
intersection where Dorris and Victor lost their 17-year-old daughter, Niki, to
an accident in 2008.

Ghaziabad: Help is pouring in for the
‘traffic heroine’ of Ghaziabad, Dorris Francis, who is now undergoing treatment
at AIIMS Delhi after being diagnosed with stomach cancer.
After a report of her illness was published
in TOI on Tuesday, people from across the country are reportedly
contributing for Dorris’s treatment according to her husband, Victor. Dorris
has been managing traffic on a particular spot at a busy intersection after her
daughter, Nikki died in an accident there in 2010.
Victor told TOI that since morning
he has been flooded with calls from people from different places asking after
her and wishing her a speedy recovery. A sum total of about Rs 70,000 has
already been deposited in Victor’s account. Besides, Max Super Speciality
Hospital, Vaishali, had offered free treatment for Dorris.
“I am overwhelmed by the support,” Victor
said.
“In the morning I got a call from an
elderly lady from Gurgaon, who asked me to collect a cheque from her house as
she could not come down on her own because of her age.: Victor said.
Dr Gaurav Agarwal, unit head at Max Super
Speciality Hospital, Vaishali, has offered free treatment to Dorris. “We got in
touch with her family members and have asked Dorris’s husband to share with us
her medical report which we will discuss with our oncologists,” Agarwal said.
An NGO Shravan Charity Mission engaged in helping poor cancer patients
has also offered help to Dorris.
