President A P J Abdul Kalam on Thursday tripped on the dais at a Sangeet Natak Akademi function in New Delhi. However, the President was unhurt.
As the President was walking towards the podium to deliver his address, he stepped over a walking stick kept on the dais and fell on his right shoulder.
Even as the security staff and dignitaries seated on the dais rushed to lift him, the President himself quickly got up and walked up to the podium to deliver his address, lasting 15
minutes.
