While the lockdown is important to control the coronavirus pandemic, it is also making life difficult for those with medical conditions. Having said that, the police officials are trying their best to help the people in need.
Recently, a young woman delivered a baby with the help of a young police officer who donated blood.
Sulochana, 25, her husband Ezhumalai and a relative were seen walking towards the city by constable S Syed Abuthahir while on duty near Kamarajar statue in Manapparai. The cop stopped the three and enquired about their condition.
He then tried to get them a taxi to reach the hospital but later he realized that the family was in need of a blood donor to get the C-Section done for Sulochana.
When he got to know that the pregnant woman was in need of blood – O positive – which also happens to be his blood group, the police official immediately volunteered to provide blood.
The officer went with them, donated blood, stayed there till the operation was over. He held the new born baby girl and then left the premises.
“If that police official had not donated blood, my wife and I would have been in a very difficult spot trying to get blood. My wife and child are well now and I thank that officer and the Trichy police for this help,” said Ezhumalai.
The officer, S Syed Abuthahir, was rewarded by superintendent of police Zia Ul Haq.
Ezhumalai added, “I was scared of the police before but after this my opinion has changed. They are here to help and they will help you too in case of need.”
