Kerala HC issues order asking Centre to open Mangaluru-Kasargod border

Wed, Apr 01 2020 11:36:33 PM

Kochi, Apr 1 (IANS): After three days of hearing, the Kerala High Court on Wednesday night issued interim orders, asking the Centre to open the border connecting Kerala's Kasargode district to Karnataka's Mangaluru.

Since last Thursday, Karnataka had closed the border, after Kasargode had become the hotbed of positive coronavirus casest.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice S. Mani Kumar issued the interim order after hearing both the sides - Kerala and Karnataka -- through video conferencing, issued the interim order.

The bench refused to give one more day, when the Centre's counsel asked for it.

In the interim order, the bench said it is the responsibility of the Centre to open the border as it is a national highway and Karnataka has no right over it..."

The court said the final orders will be issued later and the two sides can come back again.

Kerala for the past three days has been pleading for opening the border with even Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan speaking to PM and two Union Minister and telling them numerous Keralites go to Mangaluru for medical treatment.

By now, seven people from Kerala passed away after not being able to cross the border and reach Mangaluru, forcing the bench to speak tough and pointed that they are forced to issue the interim orders, as lives are precious.

This is the best time to ask them to hand over mlore railway station to DK permanently. We'll open our facilities, Southern railway hands over mlore railway station operations to Konkan Railway.

They won't. End of matter. End of headache.

Kartnataka Government is duty bound constitutionally to protect its people. Sealing boarders and restricting entry of people is a SOP approved by WHO during epidemics. Already, four Covid patients are admitted in Wenlock Hospital and is consuming state funded infrastructure and consumables. If court says national highways cannot be arbitrarily closed by state, let Kerala government understand that no NH directly leads to hospitals in Mangalore and Karnataka Government is well within its rights if they close state highways. Let CPM first admit there are lapses at Kasargod which have lead to present crisis and accept ownership for not developing the boarder district. If they have scarcity for funds to develop the district, let them implement Mahajan Committee Report. This "Dog in the Mangel" policy cannot go long to fool the people. Notwithstanding the above, stealing scarce food from neighbour's kitchen cannot be a long term strategy to satisfy hunger.....!

Instead they can ask for Vijayans Govt Helicopter to shift patients or can request centre to provide Military Helicopters to shift the serious cases.

Telling to open borders is NOT AT ALL a decision a living BRAIN to decide at this crucial time.

Somebody explore whether Kerala closed National Highways in previous instances . Let the truth come out. How long we can tolerate their monopoly ? They have all the skills to bend others. This is the right time to show them and make learn from us.

They pride themselves in constructing Airports in competition with Mangalore ( Not 1 but 2), but unfortunately cant mobilize treatment for their Northern part of the state.

They have taken over all the agriculture, construction, jewellery, bakery, trading business in the state .
They will ask you to speak in their language and shoe their arrogance when you dont reply.
they will honk and honk behind your car, shout
Go to any hospital and try asking directions or help in tulu, konkani, kannada.....
even our people are fools.... trying to please others with taking in their language. Even boards are written in english and other languages

State borders are closed. Even within the state some districts are sealed. KeraLa govt could have arranged beds at least in the existing hospitals
China built big hospitals within two weeks. Then this advanced state could have anticipated and arranged beds for the patients. There was enough time. Now blaming Karnataka for the death of an old lady. Don't they have facility to treat a single patient? The high court should snub the CM for his failure and blaming Karnataka.

Just imaging if we allow patients who come in for Necessary medical treatment like chemotherapy or Dialysis to Mangalore for treatment and they wont come alone they will come with a relative just imaging if he is infected just 2 days back (due to the lot of Cases in Kasaragod the probablity is high) , he wont have temperature and will be allowed to cross the border and here comes a disaster.

SO PLEASE DON'T OPEN THE BORDERS , its for the safety of all and india

Our Medical colleges run mostly on the patient inputs from northern Kerala.
Our educational institutes, mostly payment seats are occupied by mostly keralites.
You may ask the 'tender coconut' seller in front of father Mullers, Unity or KMC in the city about the number of Malayali customers.
Even there are many keralite doctors in our medical college. Some of the big hospitals are owned by doctors from Kerala. So the development of Mangalore has lot to do with contributions from Kerailtes.

As human beings, let us not deny medical care to people from north Kerala. Open the borders for ambulances. There will not be ambulances passing every minute. You may well stop them at the border for a quick check of temperature. Let us become human beings rather than just Mangaloreans.

Some may think why you didn’t do it before..

They should have learnt from the old Nipah virus and established hospitals in all populated districts which includes Kasargod. People in Kerala including Kasargod should demand for better medical infrastructure which is a basic amenity. And please stop such baseless comments that all your keralaites earnings are pumped in Mangalore.

DK residents have no concern for their own fellow residents what will they have for other state people?

I'm also a DK resident and I go out on essential duty on every working day as mandated under govt orders and this is what I observed in past few days:
- selfish behaviour on display on March 31, when markets were opened after many days of lockdown; zero concern for others while hoarding as much as possible.
- zero concern for migrant labourers who have made our city their home; they remain forgotten, to be remembered when we need them to do our dirty jobs next.
- people of all castes, religion, economic status, education level ignoring social distancing and quarantine regulations
- birds, stray animals left to fend for themselves without usual scraps of food or water.

We are quick to pass judgement on others and label them as ghatta, gowde, kadapu, annachi but we don't realise how much we depend on them for our social and economic growth.

All these years we happily took economic advantage of their infrastructure shortcomings but during crisis we are quick to pass judgement on the same shortcomings that have contributed towards a not-so-small part of economic development of our district.

I'm personally not in favour of opening the border and risk infection spread but this crisis is bigger than me or any individual. Medical help must not be denied to anyone; if we have it we share it with those that don't have it. We need not treat them specially but denying essential / life saving medical service during crisis is not humanity.

I'm not sure Sankara, Ramanuja, Madva, Basavanna, Jesus, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Nanak Dev, Buddha or Mahavira would have approved of this hostility.

Peace!

U need to know why we call them ghatta coz they lack civic sense.
We don't mock them coz they are poor, we mock them for their lack of civic sense. Behaviour such as spitting on the roads, listening to music in high volume in public places etc etc.
You will rarely see native mangalore labourers doing such things and Of course all these migrant labourers are paid to do their job and not doing it for free.
and they are paid handsomely compared to other places in the state and thats why they come in large numbers.
Please open Udayavani and see how locals in udupi and other areas have come together and provided accommodation , food clothes etc to these migrant labourers free of cost.
So please stop passing judgement on we Mangaloreans that quickly.
Its in cities like bangalore where migrant labourers are being asked to vacate their rental houses, but not in Mangalore.
Even a Mangalorean when he goes to other districts of the state is mocked as Mangaluru Manjunatha, Kobbari Yenne and what not. So its a universal problem and not restricted to Mangalore or Mangaloreans alone

We should first try to understand why lockdown is in place first. It's mainly to restrict movement of people so that we can keep the virus at bay. If people are allowed to move between states ( patients specially ) the whole purpose of lockdown is lost.

Look at the state of countries which did not enforce lockdown seriously ( USA, Italy, etc ). I too agree we need values like compassion. But the need of the hour is minimize the effect of pandamic.

Our authorities in our state and district have done a fairly good job so far compared to other states. We need to follow their instructions and let this crucial phase pass. Opening the borders and allowing people to enter from the virus hotspot will just put all the efforts done to keep the pandamic under control go down the drain.

This development is really really distressing. One set of people are having their way.
With a calculated determination they can takeover whatever they wish for be it our
land,railway lines and stations and now our health system. Since the HKOK refused
to give one more day obtaining a stay also may not be possible.

We can perhaps mitigate the damage to a certain extent by insisting that the patients
from across the border to have a prior confirmed appointment from the local hospitals.
This document must be checked at the crossing.

As we understand only Wenlok hospital is Covid ready with few beds. Whether the
district will be asked to throw open all other hospitals too to receive 'guests' from
Kerala whether they are Covid ready with isolation wards etc? The moot question
is how many private hospitals are eager to oblige considering the enormous risks

They also bring drugs, thieves, stone pelters and world banned groups to DK and create unrest among different religions for their cause. let the Kerala HC and CM guarantee that they will stop such activities in Kerala and it's purely for medical reason, probably Karnataka admin. might believe them and open the border.
