Ranchi: Residents of Ghagra complained of environment pollution and said they fear contracting Covid-19 due to the round-the-clock cremation of infected corpses in the area. Corpses of the deceased Covid-19 patients are being cremated at the ghat for nearly a month now after the Ranchi Municipal Corporation owned gas-fired incinerator at Mukti Dham developed a snag and went out of order for several days.
Kaushal Kishore Mishra, a resident of the area, said, “The mass burning of bodies is causing so much pollution that we are forced to shut our doors and windows. The strong smell arising out of rituals saturates the entire atmosphere.”
