We were served excellently at Bhatkal's quarantine centre by Majlis Islah wa Tanzeem, says Jagadish
Jagadish along with 46 others was quarantined at a Madrasa served by Tanzeem in Murdeshwar
Bhatkal: 46 people who had arrived from Bengaluru towards Bhatkal on May 6, were intercepted by the Uttara Kannada District Administration at Murdeshwar about 13km away from their destination Bhatkal. They were made to quarantine at a Madrasa in Murdeshwar and all the services at the centre were managed and arranged socio-political organisation of Bhatkal, Majlis-e-Ishah wa Tanzeem.
Interestingly, among the 46 people that were quarantined at a Madrasa campus and served by a Muslim socio-political organisation, there were four non-Muslim persons who stayed with the Muslims and were being served by the Muslims for 14 days, setting a new example of brotherhood and communal tolerance in the country.
Vartha Bharati spoke to one of the four non-Muslim members from the bus who was quarantined in Murdeshwar along with others. Jagadish Naik, a resident of Mankuli, in Bhatkal and a bank employee shared his experiences from the quarantine centre and spoke about his stay at a madrasa during his quarantine period.
Jagadish while speaking to Vartha Bharati asserted that initially they had expected to come across several problems as it was the holy month of Ramadhan and it would be difficult for Tanzeem to serve us food on time. He also expressed his surprise over the treatment from the Tanzeem volunteers adding that all their smallest of needs were taken care of and the behavior of Muslims at the centre was commendable.
Along with Jagdish, Dayanand, Jayant and Praveen were also quarantined at the centre. All the three were residents of Bhatkal and had come from Bengaluru amidst the nationwide lockdown due to the spread of Corona Virus.
Jagdish was reportedly stuck in Bengaluru due to the lockdown and had left Bengaluru on May 6, before they were intercepted and sent to quarantine by the Uttara Kannada District Administration. They were quarantined at Tanveer-ul-Islam Madrasa in Murdeshwar.
Jagdish was released from the quarantine on Wednesday along with all the 46 members. He was in the awe of the service provided by the Tanzeem volunteers and the way they were being served and managed by the volunteers at the centre.
“We were unaware initially that the Tanzeem was in charge of the madrasa and looking after the quarantined people. Yet, timely supply of good quality food and water as well as proper facilities for stay were our only demands during quarantine. It was only when we went to the centre that we learnt that the centre was managed by the Tanzeem,” said Jagdish.
Speaking further, the banker said, “The members of the Tanzeem are observing Ramadan and are obviously fasting. We were, therefore, a little worried about the quality of treatment at the madrasa we were sent to. Fortunately, the worry was put to rest in merely a day. Their fast did not prevent the members of the Tanzeem from taking care of the quarantined people in an excellent way.”
“Ironically, the co-passengers, who had been sent to other quarantine centres, complained to me over telephone calls about the poor treatment of the managers of the centres. I felt it all the more necessary to express my gratitude to Moulana Abu Mohammad and all the members and volunteers of Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem especially Sadique Matta for the excellent treatment at the quarantine centre.”
