Amount spent for hiring ambulance, and freezer for one night
An activist said that he had spent ₹32,000 to preserve the body of a 53-year-old man who died of COVID. The amount was spent for hiring an ambulance and a freezer for one night. After the COVID patient died at around 9 p.m. on Thursday, a private hospital at Chaitanyapuri had pressurised the family members to take the body since they do not have a mortuary. Left with no option, they contacted the NGO, ‘Feed The Needy’, which has resumed providing the last ride to the dead.More Related News
