Mangaluru, Apr 3: Dakshina Kannada district youth Congress president Mithun Rai, said that he has filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court's (SC) appellate jurisdiction through his counsel, Anand Sanjay Nuli, senior advocate of SC. Rai has challenged the order passed by Kerala high court asking the central government to open Kerala's border with Karnataka.
People of both Karnataka and Kerala states are well aware that coronavirus pandemic has been spreading through the people travelling from Kerala to Mangaluru and then to Karnataka. Opening the border automatically poses serious health hazards for the citizens of Karnataka.
Rai said that he is of the firm belief that Kerala is quite a developed state and has all the necessary medical facilities to handle and treat the patients there instead of making them travel to Mangaluru.
"So, the border with Kerala has to remain closed. We cannot let people of Karnataka suffer. Being fully aware of the current situation I will stand by this cause and will continue to fight against wrongs with all my might to save my people of Mangaluru and Karnataka," Rai asserted.
