Taking cognizance of the large number of bodies of Covid-19 victims piling outside crematoriums, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday asked the state government and the BMC to inform it about the condition of crematoriums across Maharashtra.
MUMBAI: The bodies of Covid-19 patients cannot be kept lying for hours waiting to be cremated, the Bombay High Court said on Tuesday, and asked the Maharashtra government and the BMC to inform it about the condition of crematoriums across the state and in Mumbai.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni said in several crematoriums there is a waiting period before bodies are cremated and relatives of the victims are forced to queue outside the crematoriums. The Maharashtra government and all other civic authorities will have to come up with some mechanism to address this issue. Bodies cannot be left lying like that for hours together. They are corpses, the court said.
