COVID-19 victims recall traumatic memories

Do not let the guard down, the bereaved families urge people

The 27-year-old P. Dinakar lost his father P.J Ravi Kumar (57), who used to work as an ASI at Nakkapalle Police Station, due to COVID-19 in June 2021. Completely destroyed after losing their beloved, family members of Ravi Kumar are adjusting to the new normal. Yet again, the news of third wave is giving them a scare. “His loss cannot be replaced. He was physically fit, double vaccinated, provided medication on time, but was not able to make it,” recalls Dinakar.

For several months, the family had experienced the trauma and it was very tough to come out of the tragic incident and start a new life, he said. “Yes, there is a small sense of panic as cases started to rise again. But, we have also understood that these variants keep on coming. Such waves should be never neglected and we should never let the guard down.,” he said.
