Coimbatore: Eighty-three-year-old Vethaa Arumugan was rushed to the PSG Hospitals immediately after his family members found him gasping for breath. It didn’t occur to them to call up the hospital to check for the availability of beds, as the only thing that mattered to them was to get him immediate medical help. The hospital staff could do little to find a bed for the patient, who was breathless and on oxygen support, as his RT-PCR results were yet to arrive. That was not the only reason why he had to wait outside. Oxygen beds in the ward for suspected Covid cases was also full.
Coimbatore: A five-member gang stabbed two people to death over previous enmity at Pallapalayam near Sulur on the outskirts of the city on Tuesday morning. Police have secured all the accused.
The Sulur police identified the deceased as M Vasanth, 30, of Kakkan Nagar at Singanallur, and his friend Mahesh, 35, of Pallapalayam near Sulur.
A police officer said Mahesh had on Monday night entered into an altercation with his neighbour Saravanan, a ganja peddler who had come out on bail a few days ago, as he suspected the latter of pelting his house with stones. “However, their relatives intervened and pacified them.”
