Now when the world is faced with the Pandemic COVID 19It is needless to emphasise the absolute indispensable nature of their services.The Government of India, as well as the Government of Tamilnadu have recognised theimportance Of the services of the Doctors, Para Medical Staff, and the Sanitary workers and haveissued circulars and advisories to the public not to discriminate or isolate the medicalpractitioners and the team of workers.It is our duty to recognise and bow down to the yeomen services being rendered by the Doctors,paramedical staff and the sanitary workers who are actually exposing their lives to risk to servethe society at large. They are the warriors in this war against the pandemic. We should salutethem.On the other hand it is really shocking and disturbing to know that when one Dr.Simon Hercules,aged about 55 years, and who appears to have caught the virus while in service, succumbed to acardiac arrest on Sunday 19.4.2020. While the mortal remains were taken by the family membersand Doctors to lay him at rest at Kilpauk cemetery, a designated burial ground, a mob which hadgathered there prevented it and as a matter of fact even threatened the family members and theDoctors who had reached there to lay the body at rest. They had to flee from the place evenleaving the mortal remains. Luckily one Doctor took courage to take the body and then all hadgone to another place to lay the body at rest with police protection.This event has been widely reported in the television and news papers and as a matter of fact hasalso drawn the attention of the Honble Madras High Court and a suo motu Writ Petition has beenentertained .The said event or similar events wherever may happen deserves to be condemned and thedoctors, paramedical Staff, Sanitary workers, police personnel, revenue officials rendering serviceat this grim hour against the Pandemic COVID 19 deserve to be adequately protected and theirlife, liberty and dignity ensured.THE MADRAS BAR ASSOCIATION, strongly condemns the attack on the Family members andDoctors who accompanied the family to lay at rest the mortal remains of Dr. SIMON HERCULES,on 19.4.2020 and appeals to the Central Government and the State Government, to provideadequate protection to the Medical Professionals, para medical staff , Sanitary workers etc., andensure their LIFE LIBERTY and DIGNITY.AR L SUNDARESANPRESIDENTMADRAS BAR ASSOCIATION
