Mangaluru, June 17: Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil said that like Israel where serving in army is mandatory for every citizen there, a law should be passed in India to make it compulsory to serve the patients in government hospitals.

Participating in ‘Eid Jalsa’, a celebration of Eid festival with the Wenlock hospital staff organized by the ‘M Friends’ at IMA hall here on Sunday, the DC said that general public along with the hospital staff and family members should join hands together to serve the patients in government hospitals. The government should make it a mandatory service. It is commendable that ‘M Friends’ has been providing food to the family members of the patients at the hospital, he said.

Wenlock hospital DMO Dr Rajeshwara Devi said that all religions preach the same thing that hungered person should be given food, thirsty should be given water and one who is under distress should be shown concern. M Friends organization has been following these principles through their works, he said.

Shanti Publication manager Muhammad Kunhi gave Eid message. M Friends president Muhammad Hanief Goltamajalu presided over the programme. Donors Baraka International School founder Ashraf, Mohemmad Muhsin, Hanief Ibrahim Coimbatore and BK Fahad who donated for the Karunya scheme and cook Souhan were felicitated on the occasion.
