Crematoriums, cemeteries and other burial places in Ernakulam district have so far been able to manage the situation arising out of the increase in arrival of bodies due to Covid fatalities, sources said. Kochi Corporation-run crematoriums at Ravipuram, Edapally, West Kochi and Pachalam are coping with the increase in arrival of bodies, including of members from the Christian community, Corporation sources said. "There is no problem at all in any of the crematoriums, neither is there any inordinate waiting to cremate bodies," said Mayor M. Anilkumar.
