Mysore/Mysuru: With no shelter for the aged and ailing senior citizens, the premises of century-old Krishna Rajendra (K.R.) Hospital, popularly known as 'Doddaspathre' in this part of Karnataka, has become a place to live and die.
It is a common scene to spot the aged people sleeping on the ground near various buildings inside the hospital premises. While patients inside the wards have doctors to look after, these destitutes have no caretakers and left to fend themselves. They eat only if some donors distribute food or else they sleep empty stomach gazing at the sky. The treatment of these unfortunate citizens have been stopped due to spike in Corona positive cases.
