Bengaluru, Apr 28: A 26-year-old software engineer and mother of a newborn died after accidentally falling from the balcony of her eighth floor apartment in Begur Koppa, here.

techieShe was said to be drying her hair while peeping out of her bedroom window when she slipped and fell.

The deceased, Chandana Nagesh, a software engineer with Infosys, was on maternity leave and had delivered a baby boy six days ago, the police said.

Her mother and mother-in-law, who had come to look after the baby, were at home when the incident occurred around 6.30 pm on Tuesday at the SNN Raj Serenity gated community on Begur Main Road, Yelenahalli, off Bannerghatta Road.

Chandana had just taken a shower and come to the bedroom to dry her hair. She had opened the sliding glass window and was peeping out when she slipped and crashed straight on the cement floor below. Chandana's mother-in-law Meenakshi and her mother Manjula Nagesh were taking care of the baby at that time.

The guards heard a loud thud from the back of the D2 Block, rushed to the spot and found Chandana lying in a pool of blood. While the guards were going up and down the floors trying to find out from which floor she had fallen from, her relatives had by then realised that it was Chandana who had slipped and fallen. The family members rushed her to a hospital nearby where she was declared brought dead, the police said.

Her body was then shifted to Victoria Hospital on Tuesday night and the postmortem was conducted on Wednesday. The body was handed over to the family members, who took it to Mandya for the final rites.

A case of unnatural death has been registered at the Electronic City police station and the cops are investigating further. Her husband Abhilash is a software engineer with Siemens.

Mangaluru, May 5: Even though India is all set to bring back Indian nationals stranded abroad through special commercial flights, no flights have been arranged for the repatriation Kannadigas stuck in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the first phase (May 7 to May 14). However a few flights will fly from Saudi to Kerala and Delhi.

The government is likely to introduce flights from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka (Bengaluru and Mangaluru Airports) in second or third phase.

Fill the Form

All Indian nationals in Saudi Arabia who seek repatriation are supposed to fill form in the following link: https://t.co/K5Hbmr4cFP 

Meanwhile, the Indian Embassy in Riyadh has clarified that the purpose is only to collect data and no decision has been taken yet regarding resumption of flights.

High airfare

Even though some GCC governments paid the ticket fares to bring back their citizens, the government of India has clarified that it will not pay the ticket fares of Indian nationals stranded abroad. It is predicted that tickets on repatriation flights from Saudi Arabia to India could be costlier than regular airfare.

Only asymptomatic can travel 

As per Standard Operating Protocol, medical screening of passengers would be done before taking the flight. Only asymptomatic passengers would be allowed to travel. During the journey, all these passengers would have to follow the protocols, such as the health protocols, issued by the ministry of health and the ministry of civil aviation," it said in a statement.

Mandatory quarantine

The govt has made elaborate arrangements to conduct medical test on arrival at the Airports. As per plan, based on medical check-up, passengers will be categorised as group A/B/C. Later, they will be quarantined for the mandated days

Respective district administrations have taken steps to quarantine people returning from outside India. Marriages halls, general halls and hostels are being identified for the quarantine.
