Disaster personnel, police chip in to cremate over 120 unclaimed Covid bodies across Uttarakhand | Dehradun News

SDRF personnel take an unclaimed body for cremation
DEHRADUN: In Uttarakhand, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and police personnel, going beyond the call of duty, are performing last rites of people who have succumbed to Covid-19 but have no one to cremate them. The police and disaster personnel have cremated more than 120 bodies so far.
The SDRF personnel, who have been recently pressed into the service as their training equips them for handling the contagion, have performed the last rites of almost 23 bodies in the last one week. In Haldwani alone, on April 30, SDRF cremated seven bodies that were decomposing in morgues as families hadn’t claimed them.
