Engorged, decaying corpses were found on the banks of the Ganga in Bihar’s Buxar on Monday morning, revealing a macabre sight of the COVID horror in the country. The spine-chilling video in which several bloated bodies are seen on the bank of the Ganga has surfaced on Monday, sparking a scare among the locals. Nearly 30-40 dead bodies can be seen in the Ganga with stray dogs roaming around them.
While locals claimed such sightings had become common since officials began dumping bodies into the river after running out of firewood at the crematoriums, authorities said that the bodies had flowed into the state from upstream Uttar Pradesh, where similar sightings had been reported at a border village in Ghazipur district.
