Daijiworld Media Network - Belagavi (SP)

Belagavi, Jul 18: As relatives and close ones dithered from getting involved with the funeral of a person, his wife and son were forced to keep the body on a pushcart and take the body to the outskirts of the town for the funeral. The people were fearful of contracting coronavirus infection if they came in contact with the body. The incident happened on Friday July 17.

Sadashiva Hiratti (55), resident of Athani in the district, was suffering from ill health for a month. He breathed his last on Wednesday but the family members could not perform the funeral as no one came forward to help them.

After considering different options, the wife and son of the deceased placed the body on a pushcart and transported the body to the outskirts of town where the funeral was performed.

It is learnt that no coronavirus test was conducted on the body and it was not confirmed whether Hiratti had corona infection or not.

    People were not offering a shoulder when you want cry on
    But, they were ready to give the shoulder to carry the dead
    Now, due to fear of corona, they will not give their
    Shoulder either to cry on or to carry when you die.

    It is very unfortunate no one helped them, people could have helped them with proper preclusions. In spite of all preclusions when our day comes nothing can save neither money nor knowledge.

    No one can escape from death... today or tomorrow... earlier or later... Some people behave as if they stay permanently here in their houses... Om Shanthi... Condolences to the bereaved family of shri Sadashiva... 🙏🙏

    Handling of complete COVID-19 SITUATION IN INDIA is totally flopped and failed.

    Central Govt. as well as State Govt. are utterly failed.

    So-called Lock-Down and Seal-Down are a meaningless and total failure.

    I can say only.....Om Shanti!!!!!

    Suhail ??? Is this your own name ?? Look at the neighbours at East and West of India, man, and tell the readers - is India at a better position, or worse ?

    Now, the British did not live in India to help Indians. Good that the forward thinking leaders of those times got together and fought, fought till the British to fed up and fled. Else, still our raw material would have been shipped to UK and they would have been the most rich country in India because of their finished product exported to world over.

    Besides, if India had been under RSS backed party since 1947 (not a neutral Congress), you should forget how Hindu/Muslim/Isai lived cordially for 70 years. Rather, India could have been torn into three or four pieces already. If you have any doubt, tell me - I'll give you examples to specify my point. Well, the process has started 2014 onwards, you keep watching.
