Mangaluru, Feb 25: For the second time in a year Mangaluru city traffic police on Thursday created a "green corridor" to facilitate unhindered transport of a brain dead donor's vital organ from a private hospital here to the Mangaluru International airport.

The harvested organs belonged to Vinith Raj, son of Krishna and Geetha Moolya, from Manjeshwar in Kasaragod district. The 19-year-old electrician was declared brain dead after he fell off a building following an electric shock recently.

When Vinith Raj's parents conveyed their wish to donate his organs to the doctors at AJ Hospital, they made necessary arrangements. A team of surgeons from Bengaluru arrived on Wednesday night to assist the local doctors.

Though the surgeons from two hospitals successfully harvested kidney, heart valves, liver and cornea, only liver was taken to Bengaluru through Mangaluru Airport, sources said.

It is learnt that the transport took around 12 minutes, a distance of 11 kms, with nearly three dozen personnel overseeing that the ever-busy road remained clear of all vehicles.

It could be recalled here that Mangaluru police had created Green Corridor for the first time in April 2015 to transport the organ of Jeevan Vijay Fernandes, 24-year-old accident victim from Bellur in Bantwal taluk.

Oh, my heart breaks for the family. My family also had to make the decision to donate my niece's organs. For me personally it was one of the most healing things knowing she had saved so many lives but I do often wonder how/where these people are.

As a recipient of a heart just over two years ago I am eternally grateful for those who make this decision. I can continue to be a son, a husband, and a father to two small children.

My brother passed unexpectedly on 24th February 2015, he too donated his organs. His selfless act has helped us, as a family to know he breaths through another & has assisted at least four other recipients & their families last year. We would love to reach out to the recipients on his 1yr memorial but understand the sensitivity for some and respect their privacy but it's hard.... I know it would mean the world to mum & dad to meet them & would greatly assist in their healing. I wish there was a 'tick box' option to opt in for communication between families.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Karnataka Minister CT Ravi on Wednesday said that time is ripe to bring in Uniform Civil Code in the country as there was a demand for "equality".

"Everyone talks about equality. Those who desired inequality in the past are now seeking equality. The time is ripe to bring Uniform Civil Code," he said.

The Minister said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been a part of the party's agenda since the time when BJP was formed in 1980.

"We spoke about article 370, we have done it, on Ayodhya issue, the Supreme Court has given its verdict. As the time comes we will do it," he said.
