The first day of resumption of KSRTC services to Kerala did not elicit a good response with barely a third of the seats occupied in the five buses that departed to Kozhikode and Thalaserry from Mysuru. KSRTC regularly operates about 40 schedules to different parts of Kerala daily. But, on Monday only five buses left for Kozhikode and Thalaserry with one third occupancy, said KSRTC’s Mysuru Rural Divisional Controller Srinivas. KSRTC, which had discontinued service to Kerala due to COVID-19, decided to resume operations from Monday. Though COVID-19 had come down to a large extent in Karnataka, Kerala is still reporting cases around 12,000 cases every day.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
