"I will be coming here again at around 4 pm next Thursday and monitor the problems of the hospitals for an hour or so," she said.

Asked how much her injured left leg has healed, Banerjee said, "The doctors did an MRI last week. The portion is still swollen. It will take another one to one-and-a-half months to heal completely."

An FIR was registered in Nandigram police station, but nobody was arrested in this connection.
