Kochi: Uma Thomas MLA, who suffered serious injuries after falling from the stage at the Kaloor International Stadium, has shown slight improvement in her health. Reports indicate that when her son visited, the MLA opened her eyes and moved her limbs.  

However, a clearer picture of her progress will only be available after the medical bulletin is released at 10 am on Tuesday. Uma, who sustained severe lung injuries, remains on a ventilator at Palarivattom Renai Medicity.  

The incident occurred on Sunday evening around 6.30 pm, just before the commencement of the mega Bharatanatyam event at the Kaloor International Stadium, which aimed to set a Guinness World Record. Uma Thomas sustained severe injuries after falling from a 15-foot-high temporary inaugural stage.  

The accident happened when she moved forward after sitting on a chair on the stage, intending to greet someone she knew. While doing so, she lost her balance as she held onto a ribbon attached to a temporary railing at the edge of the stage. She fell, hitting her head on a concrete slab. She was immediately rushed to Palarivattom Renai Medicity Hospital by ambulance.
