At least 180 bodies cremated in just four days, say workers
The Hindon Cremation Ground in Ghaziabad is struggling to handle the surge in bodies of suspected COVID-19 patients after the electric furnace, which has been operating around the clock, temporarily stopped functioning on Friday.
Since then, the wait time for electric cremation has gone up to at least three hours. Some families were forced to carry out the last rites of their loved ones on footpaths.
