Students from various organizations in Karnataka on Monday wrote a letter in blood to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding approval of a super specialty hospital for Uttara Kannada district.
Students gathered at Mahatma Gandhi Road in Karwar city and protested by writing letters in their own blood. He wrote “Nam Beko Super Specialty Hospital” (We need a super specialty hospital) and posted it to PM Modi.
He warned that if the hospital was not approved soon, he would boycott the assembly elections. Local people said that although the geographical area of the district is huge, there is not a single multi-specialty or super-specialty hospital available to the public.
People have to go to Goa, Hubli, Udupi and Mangaluru for emergency treatment. Demand for the hospital has increased following the death of 4 people in Honavar in the district on July 20.
The protesters said that they will continue to write letters to Modi in blood until their demands are met.
The district is considered a bastion of the ruling BJP and the party has not met the demand for a hospital despite assurances. The opposition parties have criticized the ruling party for failing to construct the hospital.
