Two-wheeler ambulance to be launched in Bangalore soon: U T Khader

January 20, 2014

Bangalore, Jan 20: A model of two-wheeler ambulance that the government is contemplating to introduce in Bangalore was unveiled on Sunday by the Health Minister U.T. Khader when he came riding it to inaugurate the Pulse Polio programme at Ghousia Hospital here on Sunday.

The two-wheeler ambulance has a first-aid kit using which the rider of the vehicle would provided medical care to the patient before shifted him/her to a four-wheeler ambulance.

Mr. Khader, who rode the two-wheeler ambulance from his residence in Jayamahal to the venue of the Pulse Polio programme, said that the ambulance would reduce the delay caused due to traffic jam while shifting the patient to hospital.

He also said that it would, however, require some modifications. “We have asked the two-wheeler ambulance manufacturers to make provision for administering oxygen to patient during emergency. Without oxygen, the ambulance would serve no purpose. If the oxygen mask is fixed, it would stabilise the patient's condition,” Mr. Khader added.

The Minister said that the two-wheeler ambulance would be introduced in parts of the city where traffic density is high.

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.
