The front page of this newspaper yesterday had a report stating that a batch of Kerala medics, nurses and doctors who had come to the city to aid in COVID-19 treatment at a hospital in the western suburbs are scheduled to return.

Unfortunately though, these doctors are yet to receive their salaries, and many of them have not been reimbursed for their flight tickets. Some have returned, others are returning in a few days. They have been in the city for little more than a month now.
