The mentally imbalanced young girls who, along with their father, were rescued from a Sylhet city residence on Saturday, were shifted to a cabin from the surgery ward at Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital on Sunday to ward off the flocking visitors.
The hospital sources said the two girls and their father were under the supervision of medicine specialist Ismail Patwari of the hospital.
Their condition — both physical and mental — has started to improve after they were admitted to the hospital on Saturday, the sources said.
The kotwali police rescued the two sister — Safia Begum, 33, and Afia Begum, 28, who were students of a local private college, and their father Abdul Noor, an United Kingdom expatiate, from their residence at Housing Estate in the city in a mentally imbalanced condition.
Relatives said Abdul Noor had been living along with his daughters in the residence, having no power and gas supply, for more than 18 months since the death of his wife Rokeya Begum.
The daughters were never allowed to go out and Abdul Noor himself hardly went out during the period, the sources said.
Masud Ahmad, an on-duty doctor at SOMCH, told New Age that positive changes were taking place in the behavior of two girls after they were admitted to the hospital.
He said their father also seemed to recover from the mental disorder gradually.
'They are schizophrenic genetically,' he added.
SOMCH assistant director Ehteshamul Haque Chowdhury told New Age that they hoped the girls would be able to come back to normal life within the next 15 days.
