Daughter donates liver to save father in Karnataka

In a touching incident, a 25-year-old woman donated a portion of her liver to save her father’s life in Karnataka, drawing widespread appreciation.

Ajjappa, 50, an agricultural worker from Jagalur in Davanagere district, had reportedly suffered severe liver damage due to prolonged alcohol consumption. He was admitted to a private hospital where doctors advised an urgent liver transplant, estimated to cost over Rs. 50 lakh.

The surgery proved successful, and Ajjappa has since recovered and returned to normal health, according to hospital sources.

Chandana’s selfless act has been widely praised, with many hailing her as an example of filial devotion and courage. The incident has also drawn attention to the importance of organ donation.
