Maharashtra: 8 bodies of COVID-19 victims cremated on one pyre
Eight bodies of COVID-19 victims were cremated on one pyre due to a shortage of space at a makeshift crematorium in Maharashtra s Beed district, a
civic official said on Wednesday. Since residents had opposed the cremation of bodies of COVID-19 patients at crematoriums in Ambajogai town, local
authorities had to identify another place away from there to perform the victims last rites and space there was limited, he said. As residents objected to the cremation of COVID-19 victims in the crematoriums which we currently have, we identified a separate space on Mandwa road, nearly two km away from the town, Ambajogai Municipal Council s chief officer Ashok Sabale told PTI.
