KOTTAYAM: Minister VN Vasavan and LDF candidate for Puthupally by-election Jake C Thomas came to the rescue of those who were injured in a road accident. Both were returning to Kottayam from Puthankuris. Meanwhile, when he reached Tiruvankulam Mamala side, he saw two injured and bleeding people lying on the roadside. Then the minister and J took them to the hospital. The minister himself informed about this through a Facebook post.

The minister wrote on Facebook that people were scared and standing away after seeing the accident and if the accident victims are rescued, no one will have to face any legal action. I don't understand why people are afraid. Let's not lose humanity, lives are lost on the roads often when treatment is not available. The minister said that no one should be pushed into that plight.

Full version of the Facebook post

On the way back to Kottayam from Puthankuris, the tragic scene was noticed when they reached Tiruvankulam Mamala side, two people who were involved in the accident were lying bleeding on the road. The driver was instructed to stop and Jack C Thomas, the Left Front candidate from Puthupally Constituency, who was with me, got down and when we approached, both were unconscious.

The people who were standing there were standing away in fear and when we put the first person in the vehicle, the people who were there came with us to take the second person and put him in the vehicle. The car that hit them was there. They were not ready to take them to the hospital, they took them in the vehicle and took them to the hospital.

Both were unconscious but alive when they were taken to the hospital. The journey continued from there only after arranging facilities for them to get the necessary treatment. It is known that the two victims of the accident are natives of Thrissur. The police were also instructed to collect the information about how the accident happened and take action.

No one will have to face any legal action if they save the accident victims, but the government is saving the accident victims and bringing them to the hospital as soon as possible. Still do not understand why fear. We should not lose humanity, lives are lost on the roads often when treatment is not available and no one should be pushed into that plight.
