Mr. Althaf, 

Firstly a  precious life has been lost, it is a matter of great grief and sorrow that a human life and animals have died. May the Almiighty give strength to the deceased family in this unrepairable loss.

 

Secondly never redicule anyone's religious sentiments, Everyone's religion and faith is lovable to them. It is not the teaching of Quran and our beloved Prophet to redicule anyone's belief's. Your comment shows that you are very ignorant of Islamic thoughts. Please educate yourself.

Mangaluru, Feb 10: Life of a 40–year-old man, who suffered a massive cardiac arrest, was saved by an ambulance driver who covered 80-km distance between Dharmasthala and Mangaluru in just 40 minutes.

The patient, a Chikkaballapur native sustained a heart attack near Sakleshpur on Saturday while he was on his way to Dharmasthala. He was provided preliminary treatment at a private hospital in Ujire, where doctors advised his relatives to shift him to a hospital in Mangaluru immediately.

The patient’s condition was critical and the odds were completely against him. Moreover owing to the ongoing double lane project work, the road too had been dugout. Despite all this, ambulance driver Hameed drove at a fast pace and managed to take the patient to the hospital within 40 minutes.
