February 27, 2017

Even though the Sangh Parivar had said that the protest against Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s visit will be voluntary, instances of forcible closure of shops during the day has been reported. However, none of the affected persons have lodged any complaint with the jurisdictional police so far, police authorities said.

The issue was raised during yesterday’s monthly SC/ST meeting organised by city police where a Dalit community leader complained that notwithstanding strict police vigil, miscreants forcibly closed down shops.

K M Shantharaju, deputy commissioner of police (law and order) who chaired the meeting, said police would initiate action against anyone against whom they receive a complaint to this effect or are able to find direct evidence of people have being coerced to do so.

The leaders said people are wary of lodging a police complaint in such cases lest it antagonizes people and other influential people with whom they interact on a daily basis.

M Sanjeev Patil, deputy commissioner of police (crime and traffic), said as a matter of rule, people may always call the city police control room on 100 in such cases or other instances where local or other miscreants try to browbeat the locals and the personnel from jurisdictional police will initiate action.

Sangh goondas created mess and forced shop owners to close their businesses which caused loss of crores of rupees to public. These goondas even forced buses and autos from fetching passengers. Leaders of these goonda organisation should be penalised heavily and should be warned of more strict actin in future.

Frontline warrior Dr Shaukat Ali dies of COVID-19 after hospitals refuse admission

coastaldigest.com web desk

June 9,2020

Mumbai, June 9: A 45-year-old doctor posted in the 108 ambulance service at Malad railway station in Mumbai died of COVID-19 after two hospitals refused admission, in spite of the fact that he was a frontline warrior against coronavirus.

The victim is Dr Shaukat Ali, who was working with the 108 ambulance service for the last four years. A few days ago, he got his blood tests done after his health deteriorated. The result stated typhoid fever following which he started getting treatment at home in Malwani.

Ali's family ran from pillar to post to get him hospitalised in either a private or government hospital, to no avail.

"On Friday, his condition worsened and he started feeling breathless. Despite us calling the 108 ambulance service, no one picked up the call. So after waiting for a while, I and uncle's colleague, Dr Nigam, rushed him to SK Patil hospital in Malad East in an auto. But they refused us stating they were admitting only COVID-19 patients.”

“Then we took him to Desai Hospital, where doctors were initially ready to admit him but later refused stating lack of beds. They said we could take him home as his condition was fine," Zubair Shaikh, Ali's nephew said.

"But his condition worsened. So, I called Dr Nigam and we managed to admit him in Shatabdi hospital. On Sunday, when his results came out stating that he had COVID-19, doctors had already put him on a ventilator, where he passed away in the evening," he added.

Zubair further said, "Had the doctors at Desai Memorial Hospital admitted him, my uncle would have been alive today. It is a matter of great regret that a doctor, who was risking his life during this pandemic, could not get help from his own government hospitals."

Ali's wife and his two children's are in UP, while he was staying with his elder daughter who had recently appeared for HSC exams and preparing for NEET.
