The body of an 85-year-old woman who had tested positive for Covid-19 remained in her flat at Karunamoyee Housing Estate in Salt Lake for at least 19 hours before it was removed for cremation by the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation, the family said.
Corporation officials said the reason for the delay was crematoriums were chock-a-block with bodies.
Geeta Kumari, the victim, had tested positive for the disease a few days back. She passed away on Saturday evening after suffering breathing problems, a family member said.
Kumari stayed with brother Ravindra Kumar and his son and daughter-in-law, all of whom are down with Covid and are in home isolation.

SILCHAR: The five Assembly seats of Karimganj district – Ratabari, Patharkandi, Badarpur, Kaimganj (North) and Karimganj (South) – are set to witness tough and straight fight between the BJP-led alliance and the Congress-AIUDF combine.
Other parties like the CPI(M), CPI, CPI(ML), the SUCI and independents are almost inconsequential. The focus of interest is Karimganj (North), considered prestigious for the BJP-led brigade and the Congress-led alliance as well. This is mainly an urban population-based constituency where the voters have shown their preference for the Left, AGP and the Congress till the entry of the BJP and the AIUDF in the scene.
