Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SD)

Mangaluru, Jun 3: To ease up the commute for people having to travel between Dakshina Kannada (DK) and Kasargod, deputy commissioner (DC) Sindhu B Rupesh has issued standard operating procedures (SOP) for daily commuters between the district and Kasargod.

Following the nationwide lockdown imposed in late March, sealing of the state border at Kasargod caused inconvenience and affected people from both the sides mostly those with health conditions seeking treatment, which also led to a minor inter-state dispute. Later, with the intervention from the Supreme Court, orders were passed to lift the sealed border. The decisions were said to be taken keeping in view to control coronavirus cases in the district.

    What about people who wants to go to doctors clinic for consultation and treatments as many of Kasaragod people are dependent on Mangalore specialty doctors like Opthal / Ortho / Neuro / Nephro etc., they have been stuck for 3 months as most of them go once a month for tests and review with their doctors, Government should give a pass to these kind of people too so that they can review their conditions, of course after making sure that these people dont have any COVID symptoms.

    Hospitals need to start their own labs for testing their customers and charge accordingly. Can't wait for govt test results.
