If there is any danger or harm by doing such business or eating it, just stop doing it- Islam teaches this! and this is the way of living..

who is bajrangi rowdy to catch and hold cattle transportation we have to protest against banjrangi goonda giri

If a Muslim transports his own cow from his udupi house to Mangalore house it will be considered illegal as per Indian law. If Sangh parivar activists intercept his vehicle while transporting, he has no other option but running away if he wants to survive.

People transport cattle illegally, because there is no option for non Bajrangees to transport them legally. It becomes legal when Bajrangees give them clean chit.

Dear CD please mention as Illigal transport .... Point to be noted, 1 Why Transport at Nights, point 2 why scorpio vehicale for animal tranport, Point 3, why did they run off, point 4, 12 cattle in one vehicale,

Islam absolutely forbids cheating and deception whether Muslims or non-Muslims are involved. The stern warnings of the Prophet of Mercy to those who cheat others.

Karnataka's COVID-19 survivor 'doing perfectly well now'

News Network

March 31,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 31: Venkara Raghava, a software engineer from Bengaluru, who was infected with the coronavirus has recovered and is currently "doing perfectly well".

"I am doing perfectly well now. I had travelled to Los Angeles via Heathrow airport and that is when I came in contact with many travellers. I might have picked up the infection there," Raghava told news agency.

It was in Los Angeles when he started getting a 'low-grade fever' which led him to prepone his flight to Bengaluru. "When I landed back in Bengaluru on March 8, I had a fever and I isolated myself. The same day I went to a hospital where my travel history was taken and I tested positive for COVID-19", he said.

The next day, he was admitted to the isolation centre. His entire family was also tested but the results came back negative.

When asked about what does suffering from COVID-19 feel like, he responded that it was a like a regular viral fever and was "nothing to be scared of". "The fever is very grinding, and since my childhood, I never had a fever. I had a fever for almost 15 days consistently 100 degrees (F)," he said.

About his experience at the isolation centre, he said that it was an experience unlike that of a hospital. "At the isolation centre, one has to take care of themselves, unlike a hospital where doctors and nurses take care of the patient. I had to put a wet cloth on myself and you cannot overdose yourself with Calpol or Paracetamol," he said.

For him, "The tough times are now over" and now he has fully recovered but in the process, he ended up losing about five kilograms. "After the fifteenth day when I woke up with no fever, they took a test for the nose and the throat and it came back negative," he recalled, and on March 22, he was set free.

For one week, he has been in self-quarantine at home "being completely watchful" that the symptoms do not reoccur.

The number of total coronavirus cases reached 1,251 on Monday. There are 1117 active cases in the country, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
