PATNA: After a 63-day break at an isolated cottage of Chappra Sadar Hospital, Hungarian cyclist and philologist 26-year-old Viktor Zichó finally resumed his mission ‘Alexander Csoma Expedition’ on Monday on his bicycle.
He left for his destination the tomb of Sandor Korosi Csoma, a Hungarian orientalist and philologist, in Darjeeling from Chappra around 7 am.
But before leaving, the Hungarian bid adieu to medical staff and locals and posted on his blog (zicho.hu) seeking donation for Chhapra Sadar Hospital. “Hello Everyone! In case if you want to help developing the working conditions of the Sadar Hospital’s healthcare workers, please donate them,” he wrote sharing a link where people can donate money.
Talking to TOI over phone from Saran- Muzaffarpur border on Monday, Viktor that the locals and civilians were really supportive. “They brought me good stuff to eat and tried to comfort me. I am moved by their gesture. However, I don’t have a good term with the district authorities,” Viktor said, adding, he got support from the district authorities only after his escape from the hospital on May 24.
Overjoyed with his freedom, Viktor said, “I’m really happy that finally I’m going to complete my mission, which I started from Heroes’ Square in Budapest, Hungary on July 6 last year. I’m also grateful to the leader of opposition in the state assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav for supporting me. He also offered me accommodation.”
“As per the directive of Centre, inter- state movement is allowed in the country, so we let him go this morning. He would reach to Darjeeling via Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Kishanganj and Siliguri,” Saran DM Subrat Kumar Sen said.
