Hebri: The staff of a KSRTC bus lent timely help to a young lady passenger who fell ill during the journey from Shivamogga to Udupi on Monday, by diverting the bus to the Hebri Community Health Centre (CHC) and ensuring the girl was treated there.

The girl, Suraksha, who had climbed the bus at Megaravalli, fell severely ill when they were traveling in the Agumbe Ghat area on the way to Udupi. Acting immediately on finding that a passenger had fallen ill, bus driver Tharesh and conductor Wasim Desai took the bus to the Health Sub Centre at Someshwara.

As Suraksha’s health condition failed to improve after the first aid received at the health centre, she was then taken to Hebri CHC, with the other passengers cooperating in the humanitarian efforts of the KSRTC employees and helping the girl.

The matter was also brought to the notice of Hebri Police, who ensured there was no disruption in the journey of the bus from Someshwara to Hebri.

Suraksha, who is currently being treated at the Hebri CHC, is learned to be recovering. She reportedly was studying at Muniyalu, staying at her uncle’s house.

Suraksha’s mother Rekha has expressed her heartfelt gratitude to driver Tharesh and conductor Wasim Desai for saving her daughter’s life.

Hebri Sub-inspector Mahesh TM has appreciated the duo for the timely and humanitarian efforts in helping the girl. He also said that the work of Tharesh and Desai saving a life was a model for others in society.
