Coimbatore: There is no doubt that the traffic police are doing every possible thing to enforce the total lockdown strictly by preventing unnecessary movement of public on the streets. But are the people getting out for genuine reasons bearing the brunt of their lockdown enforcement strategies and measures? The answer seems to be yes!
Podanur-based environmentalist N I Jalaluddin was one such victim. He had in the early hours of last Friday rushed his wife to the St Mary’s Hospital in his residential area with severe chest pain. The hospital took an ECG and offered her first aid for high blood pressure and sent her away, as she couldn’t be admitted because of Covid-19.
