The recent attack on a team of health workers in Indore's Tatpatti Bakhal has left the city embarrassed.

Now, a leading Muslim organisation in Indore has publicly apologised to all the people, including the doctors and nurses who came under attack, by publishing an apology in a newspaper on Monday.

The apology letter, printed by a Muslim organisation, reads, "Dr Trupti Kataria, Dr Zakia Syed, all doctors, nurses, medical teams, all officers of government administration, all policemen, all Asha-Anganwadis, institutions, and all people are engaged in the rescue of humanity from Corona [coronavirus]. We do not have words so that we can apologise to you. Believe us, we are ashamed for that unpleasant incident which has happened due to rumours."

"You are the only people who stand as a wall for us in all our illnesses and in every difficulty. That is why, today, we sincerely want to apologise to all of you, please forgive us," the apology further states.

"At the same time, we cannot go in past and improve it, but, we promise that we will make every effort to eliminate lack of community in future," the apology reads.
