Jamshedpur: In the wake of a surge in the number of coronavirus deaths, the Sikh community in Jamshedpur has donated 40 tons of wood to magistrates at the Parvati ghat and Subarnarekha Burning ghat to make sure that the last rites of Covid-19 victims are performed properly.
Om Prakash Jaggi of the Punjabi Samaj said the move was necessitated by the rise in the number of deaths and the resultant shortage of timber in some crematoriums.
As many as 50 bodies are being brought to the crematoriums on daily basis reportedly and with electric furnaces lying defunct at a couple of places, families of Covid victims have no option but to depend on wood for performing the last rites.
