Jeddah/Kalaburgi, Oct 22: Nearly three weeks after he died of cardiac arrest in Kingdom Saudi Arabia, the body of Shaikapur Gudappa Hanumantaraya, an expatriate worker from Kumbada village of Jevargi Taluk in Kalaburagi district of Karnataka, was repatriated to his hometown, where the aggrieved family members conducted his final rites.

The family members have thanked the local leaders of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and activists of Indian Social Forum (ISF), Jeddah for their selfless efforts in repatriating the body after the elected representatives from Kalaburgi refused to intervene in the case.

Hanumantaraya breathed his last at a private hospital in the Arab kingdom on September 27, 2018. The helpless family members had requested help from district administration, local Member of Parliament, to bring the mortal remains to India for the final rites, but in vain.  

The local leaders of SDPI, who came to know the through the media, met the aggrieved family at their residence and assured them to extend all possible help to bring the mortal remains to the hometown. They then contacted the activists of ISF, Jeddah unit and explained the gravity of the issue.

The Karnataka state unit president of ISF, Jeddah, Mohammed Ali Muloor along with Haris Goodinabali took up the matter with priority and acted on it. They visited hospital to collect information and approached to the company in Jeddah where the deceased had worked and started to process documents for repatriation.

Since there was no relative of the deceased in Jeddah, Kavitha wife of deceased had to issue power of attorney in the name of Mohammed Ali to complete the formalities to dispatch the dead body to India. Completing all formalities, the body of Hanumantaraya was dispatched on October 15 and it reached hometown very next day.

SDPI Kalaburgi district arranged the transportation of dead body from Hyderabad International Airport to Jevargi through the district administration. Local leaders of SDPI were present to receive the body.

Dubai, Aug 7: ‘Nama Tuluve’ Purushotham Salian, a staunch stalwart who always supported humanity and a strong pillar for Tuluvas in Dubai, passed away August, 4 at Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain. He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain some time ago. He was on the last stage of illness which was not detected earlier.

His funeral last rites were conducted on Thursday August 7 at Jebel Ali cemetery in Hindu rites with a few of his family members present. Due to Covid pandemic, neither his body was able to be flown back to hometown nor could his two children come down to attend the funeral. However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.

New Delhi, Mar 26: While the humans are on lockdown and spending time with their families, animals are free and without any fear roaming around on the otherwise busy roads. From Malabar civets to large Indian bisons, animals are enjoying this time.

Indian Forest Officer Susanta Nanda recently shared a video with the caption, "Indian bison( the gaur) goes for a street walk. The largest extant Bovine, is native to South and Southeast Asia. It can be very aggressive. Rare to see in markets."

The 8-second video shows the large animal freely walking in the market area of Chikmagalur district, Karnataka, while the few onlookers on the road get aside and watch the Bison with utmost amazement.

The videos of animals having a gala time on the roads have become common. After the video was posted online, it became a hit. The clip garnered over 3.1k views and over 100 retweets.

Twitter is amazed at the video. Have a look at the comments.

One user wrote, "Oh! We should vacate this place for them. Guess humans have stayed for too long."

Another Twitter user wrote, "That’s one thing people would follow social distancing with!"
