S M Rashid Haji, the president of the Association told media persons on Tuesday that they have already distributed cards to around 85 beneficiaries.

“Today, we distributed beneficiary cards, health cards and free SIM cards to the sole bread winners of 32 poor families. In the past we had distributed such cards to over 50 beneficiaries,” he said.

He said that aspirants of the beneficiary cards can still apply for the same with a certificate from their jurisdictional mosque jamaaths. The last date to submit applications is November 30, 2016.

The intention behind the formation of the Association was to help the poor families in case of the sudden demise of their breadwinners. The Association will donate Rs 2 lakh to the family of each beneficiary card holder after his or her demise.

The families of only those who get beneficiary cards from DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount after their demise. They beneficiaries will also be eligible to get free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte.

He said that the Association will distribute beneficiary cards the poor men or women only if they were the breadwinners of their family. “Cards will not be distributed to those who don't work,” he clarified.

Donors Mansoor Azad, Shaukath, Asif Home Plus and Sulaiman Karaya were present on the occasion.

Mangaluru, Mar 10: Tension prevailed in the city after an international flyer quarantined at the District Wenlock Hospital walked out of the facility.

The passenger, with a recent travel history to high-risk countries, refused to cooperate with health officials. The day-long drama ended when the district administration intervened and the flyer agreed to get himself re-admitted.

Deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said the passenger had fever and was sent to an isolation ward. “The passenger is cooperating with the treatment and samples have been collected for testing,” she said. The samples will be sent to a testing centre in Bengaluru.

Sources told  that rude behaviour by staff at Mangalore International Airport may have angered the passenger and he walked out of the quarantine facility.

She said if passengers show reluctance to be screened, they should first be counselled and allowed to get themselves admitted to a hospital of their choice with quarantine facility. If they still refuse to cooperate, they will have to be hospitalised forcefully, she added.
