In 2016, a young man, Harish, was cut in half after a truck ran over his bike at Thippagondanahalli on Tumakuru Road. He succumbed to his injuries after 20 minutes of the accident. Knowing that he would not survive, he had asked ambulance staff to inform doctors that his organs should be donated.
This selfless service of Harish had also forced the then Congress government to introduce ‘Mukhyamantri Santwana Harish Yojana,’ providing cashless treatment in the crucial hours after an accident.
