Mangaluru, Jul 23: Dakshina Kannada district Congress committee staged protest in front of the district Wenlock Hospital here on Thursday July 23, against the total failure of the state government in regulating spread of COVID in the state.
Many Congress leaders, current and former Congress MLAs and party workers participated. The leaders accused the district administration of sending poor patients to private hospitals instead of extending efficient treatment at the Wenlock Hospital. They said that poor people cannot afford private hospitals. They also said that 19 persons have so far died in the district due to coronavirus infection, and that no proper arrangement has been made a respectable funeral for the deceased.
The leaders said that the people are confused as the government has failed to streamline the process of funeral and warned the government to take suitable steps in this direction at the earliest.
