The second wave of corona has caused havoc in the country. Although the number of coronaviruses has been declining over the past few days, the death toll is worrying. Many find it difficult to pay their last respects to their loved ones, since the bodies of those who died of coronary heart disease are not being handed over to relatives.

While there is an atmosphere of fear across the country due to the corona, on the other hand, even in this time of crisis, some are looking at their financial gain. According to a report in the Times of India, a demand of Rs 70,000 has been made for cremation in Hyderabad.

A woman in Hyderabad has said that she paid Rs 50,000 for her funeral after her husband died due to corona. Despite all this money, the whereabouts and whereabouts of the deceased have not been disclosed. The woman's husband is undergoing treatment at Gandhi Hospital.

However, after the death of her husband in the first week of May, I paid Rs 50,000 in cash for his funeral, she said. This money is taken in cash and no receipt is given. Between Rs 25,000 and Rs 70,000 is being demanded for the funeral.

According to another source, Rs 70,000 was demanded from him for the funeral after his father died of coronary heart disease at a government hospital. According to government officials, some private hospitals have taken Rs 25,000 for cremation of coroners. But now the government has fixed a maximum of Rs 8,000 for private hospitals for cremation. Officials said a free funeral would be held if a person died during treatment at a government hospital or if the body of a stranger was found.

According to an NGO, many cannot afford to bury their relatives because they do not have the money. That is why there are dead bodies in many hospitals. This person said that our organization has cremated 180 bodies so far.
