A B Ibrahim transferred; K G Jagadeesha is new DC of Dakshina Kannada

July 21, 2016

Mangaluru, Jul 21: A B Ibrahim, who served the Dakshina Kannada district as its Deputy Commissioner for over two-and-a-half years, has been transferred with immediate effect.

Young IAS officer Dr K G Jagadeesha, will replace him as the new Deputy Commissioner of this coastal district. 38-year-old Jagadeesha (KN-2005) was serving as the Managing Director, Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Corporation Limited, Bengaluru till now.

Mr Ibrahim has been posted as the Commissioner for Transport and Road Safety, Bengaluru in the existing vacancy relieving Dr Ramegowda, IAS, of concurrent charge.

Leaving with satisfaction

Responding to the fresh transfer order, Mr Ibrahim said that he is leaving the coastal district with an amount of satisfaction having been able to accomplish some of the tasks he intended to perform.

During his tenure, he said, in order to decongest Mangaluru city, he initiated measures to shift the district office complex and the bus stand outside the city. “I am happy that the process of shifting district office is on,” he said.

All the more, Mr. Ibrahim is happy to be recognised as a “people's DC” for his simple style of functioning and being accessible to the general public in the district.

He took the initiative of providing basic amenities to the Male Kudiya tribe in Banjarumale in Belthangady taluk, who were completely cut off from the mainstream for decades now.

Mr. Ibrahim, being the Chairman of the Dr. K. Shivaram Karanth Pilikula Nisargadhama Society, conceived the idea of holding monthly festivals depending upon the season at the park to make it one of the major tourist attractions.

The initiative has been yielding results with more tourists visiting the nisargadhama every day and the pilikula being recognised across the state.

Though he is leaving the district without any major bad remarks, he said being a highly communally sensitive district, working in Dakshina Kannada was itself a major challenge. “However, I am happy that I have done justice to all without any discrimination,” he said.

He had made every effort to restore the glory of Dakshina Kannada as a major education and tourist hub.

Frontline warrior Dr Shaukat Ali dies of COVID-19 after hospitals refuse admission

coastaldigest.com web desk

June 9,2020

Mumbai, June 9: A 45-year-old doctor posted in the 108 ambulance service at Malad railway station in Mumbai died of COVID-19 after two hospitals refused admission, in spite of the fact that he was a frontline warrior against coronavirus.

The victim is Dr Shaukat Ali, who was working with the 108 ambulance service for the last four years. A few days ago, he got his blood tests done after his health deteriorated. The result stated typhoid fever following which he started getting treatment at home in Malwani.

Ali's family ran from pillar to post to get him hospitalised in either a private or government hospital, to no avail.

"On Friday, his condition worsened and he started feeling breathless. Despite us calling the 108 ambulance service, no one picked up the call. So after waiting for a while, I and uncle's colleague, Dr Nigam, rushed him to SK Patil hospital in Malad East in an auto. But they refused us stating they were admitting only COVID-19 patients.”

“Then we took him to Desai Hospital, where doctors were initially ready to admit him but later refused stating lack of beds. They said we could take him home as his condition was fine," Zubair Shaikh, Ali's nephew said.

"But his condition worsened. So, I called Dr Nigam and we managed to admit him in Shatabdi hospital. On Sunday, when his results came out stating that he had COVID-19, doctors had already put him on a ventilator, where he passed away in the evening," he added.

Zubair further said, "Had the doctors at Desai Memorial Hospital admitted him, my uncle would have been alive today. It is a matter of great regret that a doctor, who was risking his life during this pandemic, could not get help from his own government hospitals."

Ali's wife and his two children's are in UP, while he was staying with his elder daughter who had recently appeared for HSC exams and preparing for NEET.
