Medicos must work at rural areas: Khader

September 1, 2013

Mangalore, Sep 1: Minister for Health U T Khader has proclaimed to be as much pro-active as he can when it comes to social good. Recalling the days when the gutka ban was imposed, he said that the Gutka vendors had requested him to postpone the ban by another 10 days.

"I did not accept this because I felt that if I delayed the ban then I would be the reason for creating 100 new cancer patients. For the betterment of society I will not delay enforcing policies and I have proved it by banning Gutka," Mr Khader.

He was speaking at ASMACON – 2013- 1st Asian oral and maxillofacial surgery post-graduation convention organised by Asian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons with the collaboration of AOMSI at KS Hegde Medical Academy, Deralakatte, Mangalore on Friday.

Mr Khader said that the Health department is planning for better health facilities and is going to appoint oral and maxillofacial specialists in district health centres too.

"Medical education in India has grabbed the attention of foreigners. Medical students should show their interest in understanding the medical need in rural areas and serve in rural areas," the Minister said.

Vice chancellor of Nitte University, Dr S Ramananda Shetty speaking at the occasion said that cleft lip treatment has become easier by Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons.

Coordinator of convention Dr Nabeel Samman, chief co coordinator Dr S Prabhu and Dr Neilam Andrade, President of association was present during the occasion.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
