The tragic incident of a young boy, Naik, collapsing to the ground in the middle of a football match, has left people shocked. What made it all the more heartbreaking was that it was all captured on camera. In the video, it can be seen that Naik and his team members were standing together when their opponents started their raid. Then suddenly, Naik is seen to start falling back and collapses unexpectedly. As soon as the incident occurred, Sreedhar, the Administrative Officer who was present at the scene immediately checked for Naik’s pulse which was weak. Despite everyone’s best efforts to revive him, he could not be saved. This sudden death of such a young player has resulted in deep sorrow and advanced precautionary measures being taken by authorities during matches to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen ever again.
Tanuj, a student from a college in Royal Palms had testing positive for the coronavirus and was immediately admitted to a hospital. Time was of the essence and he was quickly transported to another hospital nearby only for the staff to urge them to take him even further to Bengaluru, as he had difficulty breathing on his own; hence a ventilator assistance became imperative. On being informed by his brother that Tanuj hadn’t been vaccinated against COVID-19, the college administration stepped forward and extended considerable financial assistance to his parents as they braved through two long days of wait before Tanuj unfortunately passed away due to cardiac arrest, which became an accepted cause of death.
