Idukki, Sept 7: In a bizarre incident, a woman suffering from jaundice and believed to be dead, was shifted to a mortuary and kept in a freezer for nearly an hour in Idukki, Kerala.

It was only around an hour later that she was removed from there and shifted to a hospital, after she was seen to be breathing and moving by some relatives.

Rathnam, 40, was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Madurai for the last two months, as her internal organs had got damaged due to severe jaundice.

Later, doctors asked her family to take her home as there was no use keeping her in hospital. Her family then brought her home in Vandanmed in an ambulance. On the way home though, relatives thought that Ratnam had died as she had no movement and they shifted her to a mortuary.

Later, some relatives who arrived for her last rites, noticed that she was breathing. The police were informed who reached the spot and shifted her to a private hospital in Kattappana.

As per the information from Kattappana police, Rathnam was shifted to the mortuary without any confirmation of death from the doctor.

“Relatives presumed that she was dead, but later some people came for her funeral noticed that she was moving and was breathing. That’s how she was shifted to hospital,” a source from the hospital said.

The hospital has however said that Rathnam might not eventually survive for a long time, as her internal organs have already stopped functioning.

“She might survive only for a few hours or a day, she has been suffering for jaundice for the last two months,” the hospital said.

June 11,2020

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
