COVID-19: India crematoriums underreporting bodies as suspicion grows over true number of coronavirus deaths
India has continued to post alarmingly high global record numbers of
coronavirus cases, with more than 300,000 every day for the past week.
But its deaths are still low in comparison to its huge one-billion-plus population (around 190,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic).

While hearing a bunch of petitions highlighting the shortage of testing facilities, beds, medical facilities and failure of state machinery to cater the need of patients in the difficult times of pandemic, the Jharkhand High Court this week took note of the issue of
non availability of CT Scan machine in RIMS, the sole premier institute in the State by calling the same as a matter of serious concern.
A division bench comprising of
Chief Justice Ravi Ranjan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad sought response of Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department of the State to apprise the Court about the update of purchasing CT Scan machine and also asked the Deputy Commissioner, Ranchi and Ranchi Municipal Corporation to apprise the Court as to how to make operational the Electric Crematorium constructed near Swarna Rekha River on the next date of hearing.
