A thread on recklessness, indifference in the #SupremeCourt & the need to set things right before another life is lost.
Mr SK Dhingra, a 80-yr-old lawyer with almost 50 yrs of practise died y'day after consecutive heart attacks in his chamber. Nobody put him on a stretcher.

Me Dhingra had convulsion in his chamber. His clerk called up his daughter, also a lawyer. Clerk also called up the #SupremeCourt dispensary but no doctor was available.
The daughter too kept calling emergency clinic for sending a doctor or at least sorbitrate but to no avail.

Daughter rushed to the #SupremeCourt but security refused to let her in from Gate B since that's an exit gate, not for entry.
She tried to persuade them about the urgency but the security said its the protocol. They were asked to pass through a busy red light to enter.

She went down the car, deciding to walk while her husband had to drive the car in from another gate.
She gets in, sees ambulance missing from its usual spot, outside lawyers' chambers. She is told the ambulance is parked elsewhere.
Now the driver of the ambulance is elusive.

She keeps calling the driver of the ambulance but he doesn't answer.
Meanwhile, the dispensary informed her they don't have any doctor, or emergency medicine that could help her father & that he needs to be taken away. How, they can't answer.

Another lawyer helps her in putting the father in a wheelchair.
But before Mr Dhingra could be put in the car, he passed away after the third stroke.
Other lawyers, clerks stayed away & watched the episode from a distance, perhaps worrying about #coronavirus.

This is shocking.. What have we become as persons, as a society. Apathy is beyond words.
#SupremeCourt administration, its security, emergency medical services, and most importantly the hearts we have as humans, need a complete overhaul.
Let no other life be lost like this.
