    The ambulance and people arrived without prior approval of authorities.
    Were there no check-points along the long way from Mumbai to Udupi/Manipal?

    As per report it is the hospital that reported this matter to the District Administration. Does that mean the police at check points allowed free movement possibly because it's an ambulance?

    We in Mumbai, have premium hospitals, run by eminent medical professionals.... Transfering patients from Mumbai to Manipal is crazy and ridiculous, especially during this pandemic, which is raging in our nation....

    Treatment in Mumbai Hospitals very expensive. If you visit A grade hospitals like KMC then you have spend 5 times more than KMC hospital. That is why people prefer to come to Mangalore, Udupi for treatment. We have good doctors and good A grade hospitals.
