KASARAGOD: Fathimath Sasriya (31) an endosulfan victim paralysed since childhood and diagnosed with hydrocephalus died of Covid on Sunday, said her father Ismail Kalluravi, a resident of Kanhangad.
He said he could not take her to hospital on time because the Health Department did not have an ambulance to spare for her. Fathimath s house at Kalluravi is just 15 minutes from the District Hospital.
KASARAGOD: Collector D Sajith Babu runs one of the most efficient district administrations in the state.
Sample this: On January 12, he decided that Sreenisha C (16), an endosulfan survivor born without the left forearm, and her family should be evicted from a house built for endosulfan survivors because the house was not allotted to them by the tahsildar.
The very next day, that is on January 13, the Pullur village officer called Sreenisha s mother Pushpa Latha and handed over the eviction notice to her. We don t know what to do and where we should go, said Sasi C, a mason and Sreenisha s father.
