My friend of age 49 yrs,a reputed businessman and owner of "Chandrakala Cloth Stores' from my native place Karadga Tal. Chikodi, passed away due to COVID-19 while taking treatment at KLE. He was from decent family and strong political background. His fight with COVID-19 ended unsuccessfully on 21st Aug 20.

It was a huge shock to all the family and friends. We all along with his family members especially his father,son,myself and Dr.Nitin tried a lot to do every possible effort to save his life.His family members were ready for all the expenses and bear all expensive treatment options.But unfortunately nothing was worked.

During this period entire experience was not much good and satisfactory. It continued after his death also. Because we were waiting to get the 'body' and 'Hearse Van' for more than 6 hrs after his death.

We tried to get Van in all possible way.Dr.Basavaraj Dabade sir helped us and guided a lot during that painful situation.I would like to thank a lot Dr.Dabade sir for his kind concern and help he provided.

It was very much painful that even after huge charges in the name of treatment from hospital we couldn't get an ambulance or any vehicle to carry the body to the crematorium.

The private vehicles were not ready to come or asking huge amount for vehicle.We were having very less manpower also during that situation.

After waiting for long finally we got a Ray of Hope in such situations.

Mr.Khadarbhai, he is one who always dedicated himself to help the needy in all the situations always irrespective of Caste religion.

He immediately arranged vehicle of AL -IQRA along with PPE KIT.The entire process lasted till 1 at midnight.

Mr.Toufik, driver of Van helped us a lot in getting the body in vehicle and to crematorium*We were helpless in that situation as no one coming forward.

I would like to pass my heartfelt thanks to Mr.Khadarbhai and entire AL-IQRA team for their invaluable work they are doing continuously to the society.They are providing all the services to mankind beyond the caste and religion especially in this pandemic without thinking the risk to their life.

This is the big example of 'HUMANITY IN HUMAN BEINGS.

Their precious work for humanity is unmatched.

May God,Allah,Jesus bless Mr. Khadarbhai,Mr. Toufik and all the entire team of AL- IQRA with everything in their life.
