Mangaluru: Social media outrage over claims of negligence in check-ups of passengers from Mumbai
Mangaluru: In what has triggered a debate on local social media platforms, people have raised questions over alleged negligence of local Railways staff who have allegedly neglected thorough check-ups on people arriving at Mangalore Railway Station from Mumbai.
Congress party’s social media coordinator Mansoor Ahmed in a social media post has alleged that about 30 people who arrived from Mumbai on the train to Mangalore were let off from the station without carrying adequate health check-ups. He also alleged that the local police and District Administration is in the know of the things.
"No official conducted health checkup of the 30 travelers who arrived at Mangalore railway station. Soon as they were informed about being under home quarantine, the travelers started moving to their homes on auto-rickshaws, and buses. With that, all efforts of District's people of staying indoors during lockdown were destroyed," Mansoor Ahmed tweeted.
Commenting on the issue, MK Gopinath. Public Relations Officer, Palghat Division of Southern Railway added that the allegations were baseless and every passenger arriving at the station had undergone tests and check-up.
“All passengers arriving at Mangalore railway station are being subjected to COVID checkup. The allegation of negligence in the health checkup is baseless” Gopinath said.
