Kasaragod, July 25: Sauda, a 14 year-old daughter of Abdul Rahiman of Bayavalappu whose right leg was amputated due to cancer died in her house on Monday morning.


Sauda, an eighth standard student of the Angadimugar Higher Secondary School developed swelling on her right leg seven months ago. Doctors of a private hospital in Mangalore advised surgery.


Members of the Green Star Club and the Kerala Deseeya Vedi of Mogral admitted Sauda to the Regional Cancer Centre, Thiruvanandapuram six months ago where Sauda's right leg was amputated. After the surgery her agonizing pain on the leg stopped and she started walking using crutches. She hoped to continue her education as she told her relatives that she had got a rebirth after amputating her leg.


But last week she started feeling the pain all over her body. After admitting to the hospital for the second time, doctors concluded that cancer had spread to other parts of the body and there was no chance of recovery.


Two days ago she was admitted to a private hospital here. But she refused to take medicine and pleaded to take her back to her house as she decided to discontinue the medicine. She told her relatives that there was no chance of recovery and believed that she would die soon.


Students and staff of the Angadimgar Higher secondary school mourned her death and a holiday was declared for the school on Monday.

Bengaluru, May 30: A city corporator in Bengaluru was sent into quarantine on Saturday after he tested positive for the coronavirus infection, officials said.

"Yes, I have tested positive," Padarayanapura municipal ward corporator Imran Pasha told some news channels.

The JDS corporator said he would quarantine himself as per the regulations.

The entire area where Pasha lives was cordoned off.

Health workers reached there in an ambulance and gave him a personal protection gear to wear and he was taken to a designated hospital.

Reacting to the development, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka claimed Pasha hardly paid heed to the COVID-19 regulations.

"He rushes to all those places wherever there are positive cases...," Ashoka told reporters.

Padarayanapura was declared as a containment zone earlier with a few cases coming to the fore.

It was in this area where some policemen and health workers were attacked when they went to quarantine a few primary and secondary contacts of a COVID-19 patient about a month ago.

Following the incident, about 125 people were arrested, and later quarantined after a few of them tested positive.
