District in-charge of the 108 ambulance service,, four persons, who became unwell at different ghats and nearby areas, were immediately taken to Shri Shiv Prasad Gupta Divisional Hospital, Varanasi, according to Manoj Kumar Singh. They were identified as Nirmal Dev, 25, from Kedar Ghat; Sanjay Prajapati, 35, from Godowlia; Vikas Prajapati, 22, from Godowlia; and Manish Singh, 50, from Rajghat. Their condition was reported to be stable.
Dr Singh said adequate medical arrangements had been made to ensure public safety during the air show. Doctors examined and treated all the patients.
