More scenes out of India horrified the world on Monday after it was reported that dozens of dead bodies had drifted onto the banks of the River Ganges in Chausa village in the Buxar district of the eastern state of Bihar.
Now, authorities have apparently placed a net in the river to catch the corpses of the suspected COVID victims.
On Wednesday, Sanjay Kumar Jha, Bihar state minister of Water Resources (WRD) and Information and Public Relations (IPRD) tweeted an update on the handling of the bodies by the state and introduced the plan to spread a net in order to handle the influx of remains.
