I am terribly sad as the nurse had called me but I have set up a camp in my society for COVID tests. We were testing some 600 people for coronavirus and I was very busy with it and couldn’t take the call. Now, I am feeling very bad about it. The nurse who was taking care of him would regularly call me up and make me speak to him and this time I just couldn’t take her call. I am feeling very bad maybe he wanted to talk to me. But our society is in a bad state because there are close to 30 COVID cases and we are trying to control that. He passed today in the afternoon around 2 PM.”
