Mangaluru, July 18: The Dakshina Kannada district administration is likely to earmark a common burial ground in the wake of growing resistance from residents of various localities in Mangaluru against burial of Covid-19 victims in their vicinity.
Recently, following protests by residents on Bolar, the body of a Covid-19 victim remained in the ambulance for hours together. The residents refused to allow the victim to be laid to rest at a burial ground attached to a mosque. The victim, who had been a resident of Idya in Surathkal, was subsequently laid to rest after DC’s intervention.
In a bid to avoid such instances in the future, the district administration has identified a burial ground on the outskirts of Mangaluru.
Former minister and incumbent Mangaluru MLA UT Khader said that he had discussed the problem at length with the officials of the Dakshina Kannada district administration, and had suggested they look for a relatively isolated space on the outskirts of Mangaluru city in order to avoid confrontation with the public.
“A parcel of land at Badaga Yekkuru, some 20km from the city has been identified as being suitable for the burial ground, but the district administration is yet to take a final decision,” Khader said.
Mangaluru, Apr 1: An Indian expatriate worker hailing from Uppinangady in Dakshina Kannada died of cardiac arrest in Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

Now a days, too many young people die because of Cardiac arrest. I believe this is happening because of our food intakes, lack of exercises etc., must keep track on cholesterol, BP, Blood glucose etc.,
