Kasaragod, Mar 31: Two more Kasaragod natives lost their lives on Monday due to blockade of the interstate border by Karnataka police in the wake of outbreak of novel coronavirus.
They could not get emergency health care as the Karnataka police stopped the ambulance carrying them to a hospital in Mangaluru at the border.
Another critically-ill person, who was sent back by Manguluru hospital authorities on March 23 for being a Kasaragod native, also died on Monday.
This is the fifth such case in many days.
The deceased are Madhavan, 50, Ayesha, 55 and Aziz Haji, 61 respectively.
All three of them lived near the Karnataka border.
Madhavan, who hailed from Thummanattu in Manjeswaram, died enroute to Kanhangad hospital after being denied entry to cross over to Karnataka. He had an acute bronchial attack.
Udyavar native Ayesha, an asthma patient, was referred to the Mangaluru Hospital by the hospital authorities at Uppali. When the authorities stopped her at the border, she was taken to the Kanhangad hospital. However, she died before reaching the hospital.
Aziz Haji, from Nayabazar Cherugoli MA Cottage at Uppala, was allegedly refused entry into a Manguluru Hospital on March 23 on account of being a Kasaragod native. Haji was a dialysis patient at the hospital. “We were unable to contact his doctor at the time,” his relatives said. Haji, who was on the ventilator, lost his life Monday morning.

LOL...kuchbee, he is the biggest shit of india..GOD is pure, mercfull & good, this man try to show off that he is with hindus, becarful my dear hindu brother he may change his mind based on the situation. like this people are called marons of 21st century.
words cannot express for this man s. statement , he was dreaming in the daylight
Sita came to his dream and she might have told that Rama is fedup of the Jungle life now he need one place to settle down and to have good rest in his rest of the life.
About Shias all are have one openion that shias not considered as Muslims they are another part of Kuffars.
Why this guy is playing with the sentiments of Hindu Brothers, Although i am a Muslim but we should respect other religions too and their sentiments. When More then 100 crores of our hindu brother and sisters pray him and he is so powerfull then why lord Ram will come in his dreams. May be time or place is not perfect for him to stay on that perticular place. if lord Ram would wish he can accept prayers of crores of peoples and settle the matter.
cant expect worse than this from a bhakt.
chacha....fear Allah before its too late
First of all, does the God cry. If he is crying he can not be God.
The one and only true God will never come in dream and will not cry.
The real God is never be seen NOR imaginable to anyone.
This is the attribution of Ture God.
Let us say for the sake of argument, he has dreamed. It does not mean it is credible dream.
The dreams are 2types True dream and fake Shaytani dream.
About this man who is controversial already in the past, has always been trying to get the mercy of Hindus. He wants to be closure with them.
He is selling his Islamic values of true belief for worldly gains. He is Munafiq
God knows how Shiyas have selected him to be their head of waqf board.
This is the true picture of Shiyas. No basic knowledge of Thoheed/ Oneness.
May God guide them.
I think this is the chamatkar of desi brand. If you start drinking foreign brand before going to bed Lord Jesus also may visit you soon!
Please give a bit more explanation about the divine-human encounter. Rama was alone or Sita was also there with him? Did he go soon after expressing his sadness before you or he also had food with you before leaving?
