Ailing man dies struggling in broad daylight due to heatstroke at Udupi
Udupi: In an unfortunate incident near the Aadi Udupi Market, an ailing man died miserably after struggling in the sun’s heat on Sunday.
Upon hearing about the ailing man, Social worker Vishu Shetty Ambalpady reached the spot at the last minute and helped take the unconscious man to the District Hospital. But unfortunately, the man passed away before he could receive any medical intervention.
“As the man was visibly struggling under the hot sun, hundreds of people walking past him wilfully ignored him turning blind to his plight and went about their way. At that moment, if anyone individual had offered him urgent help, the man would have definitely survived and his life could have been saved”, said Vishu Shetty expressing remorse.
“I received the information a little too late. Despite being occupied with other work, immediately I took an ambulance to the site and helped take the ailing man to the Hospital. The doctors who attended to him said that his life could have been saved, had he been brought to the hospital even half an hour earlier”, he said.
“If any individual, whether drunk or ill is inebriated under the burning sun, every responsible citizen must provide help. Otherwise, death is imminent. It was heart-wrenching to watch the grief-stricken wife of the deceased man in the hospital. Her widowhood could have been avoided. When the public and society turn blind despite having eyes, a life that could have been saved is lost. I hope the eyes that did not show mercy will change and at least provide help during similar emergencies in the future and transform into generous hearts”, wished Vishu Shetty Ambalapadi.

Power struggle in ruling Cong has 'created massive confusion' in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.
He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.
Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.
This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.
The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.
"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.
According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
