Kushalnagar, May 23: A little girl who lost her mother to Covid has writen an open letter to the Kodagu deputy commissioner, the MLA, and the staff of the district Covid-19 hospital urging them to find and return her mother's mobile phone which went missing after her death.

In her open letter, Hrithiksha of Kushalnagar stated that her mother had been admitted to the district Covid hospital after she contracted the infection. But she succumbed to the disease a week ago. Her mobile phone has been missing since then.

In the letter, the girl wrote, "My father, my mother and I tested positive for Covid-19. As the health condition of my mother deteriorated, she was admitted to the Covid hospital. My father and I were under home quarantine and were not able to come out of the house.

"My father is a daily wage worker. We were able to survive these days with the help of neighbours. My mother passed away on May 16.

"Someone has taken my mother's mobile phone which was with her. I have lost my mother and become an orphan. I have several memories of my mother on that phone. So, whoever has taken the phone or found it, I request them to return it to this orphan," she pleaded.
