Mangaluru, Jun 28: The patience and presence of mind exhibited by the family members of youth covid-19 victim thwarted the attempt by a few miscreants to create communal disharmony in the coastal city today.
A 31-year-old youth from Idya in Surathkal, who was under treatment for covid-19 at designated Wenlock Hospital in the city, passed away last night.
Even though there is a Muslim graveyard under the jurisdiction of Idya mosque, it was waterlogged due to heavy rains.
Hence, the Idya mosque management had obtained permission from Mangaluru’s Bolar mosque management to bury the mortal remains of the youth in Bolar graveyard.
All necessary arrangements were made at the Bolar graveyard for the burial this morning. Meanwhile, a few residents of Bolar belonging to another community staged a protest against bringing covid-19 victim’s mortal remains to Bolar.
Mohammad Husain, general secretary of Bolar mosque, said that the family members of the departed youth exhibited their presence of mind and urged the Muslims of Bolar to preserve communal harmony.
“The Bolar mosque committee had given green signal for the burial and all arrangements were made. Meanwhile, a few people staged protest and warned us against burying the covid-19 victim’s body. When the aggrieved family members came to know this, they immediately cancelled the plan,” he said.
“The aggrieved family requested us to uphold communal amity and co-existence. They decided to bury the body in Idya itself. Then the protesters also returned,” he said.
Burial in Bolar after DC’s intervention
When the mortal remains were being taken towards Surathkal in the ambulance, the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada ordered the authorities concerned to take a U-turn and bring back mortal remains to Bolar.
The DC said it was wrong to take the mortal remains to another place after making all necessary armaments in Bolar graveyard. In order to pacify the porters it was decided to dig another grave on the other side of the graveyard, sources said.

we await return of lord rama to keep the rakshas away
Good courageous initiative by Mr.Lobo & Mr. Bava. Where are other congress MLA’s hiding? May be be afraid of CBI raids.
Bava done evrything for suratkal people. He has given modern face to suratkal.
Bava done everything for him. Not for people. He may suits for film, not for politics. He's just a publiocity seeker
Mr bava and lobo.. you cant make fool people all the time. People knew they elected bad people only for this time. But comparing to you people they are better.
These fools thought that they can win easily even after they are doing nothing good to people.
Why these people blaming EVM.What you done to people, they returned.
If they won, no issue with EVM. shame on you.
If EVM are not verfied properly it will take big step in 2019 as wellknown Adithyanath told EVM means every vote for Modi,the silence of opposition will give big boost for EVM in feature.
