Editorial comment

Ten persons can be evacuated from Ukraine instead of one dead body

Bengaluru (Karnataka) – The Government is trying its best to bring the dead body of Karnataka’s Naveen Shekharappa, the 22-year-old fourth-year student at Kharkiv National Medical University, who lost life in Ukraine recently.

Speaking on bringing back the mortal remains of Naveen, a student who was killed in Ukraine, BJP MLA Arvind Bellad said 8-10 people can be accommodated on a plane in the space taken up by a “dead body”https://t.co/JOkLqnXzi0

However, in such circumstances, when the war is continuing in that country, it is becoming very difficult to repatriate the living people and the dead body. A dead body occupies more space in the plane. In that much space, 10 people can sit, stated the Karnataka BJP MLA Arvind Bellad, while responding to a reporter’s question on the progress in repatriating Naveen’s dead body.
