Mangaluru: Corona victim buried as planned as AC convinces people after initial protest
Mangaluru: Following the efforts of Assistant Commissioner Madan Mohan at convincing the people of Bolar, the burial of the Covid-19 victim carried out at the Bolar mosque instead of Idya.
The 31-year-old victim had died of Covid-19 in Idya near Surathkal on Saturday night. Since there were problems for a burial at the grounds of the Idya mosque, the office-bearers of the administrative board of the mosque requested on Sunday that the rite be carried out at the Bolar mosque. After preparations were made at the Bolar mosque, however, the local residents objected and the body of the victim was taken back to Idya in an ambulance.
On learning of the incident, the Mangaluru assistant commissioner instructed that the body be brought to Bolar. The residents clarified that they would let a Corona victim from the area be buried on the mosque premises, but not an 'outsider'.
Madan Mohan pointed out that all preparations had been made for the burial. “Please let the ritual continue. The matter can be discussed further after the work is completed,” he urged.
The people agreed with the officer and let the body buried on the Bolar mosque premises on Sunday evening.
