NEW DELHI: Facing problems in cremating or burying bodies of Covid-19 victims on time till last month, East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) has started sprucing up its arrangements such as creating additional space at two burial grounds and working on a project to install CNG furnaces at two crematoria.
\nEach of the crematoria at Karkardooma and Ghazipur will have two furnaces and the project will be completed in two months. Currently these two as well as a crematorium at Seemapuri are dedicated for Covid-19 \u2014 confirmed or suspected \u2014 victims\u2019 bodies. Once operational, the eco-friendly facilities in east Delhi will help the civic agency reduce its dependency on the north corporation and speed up the cremation process, said officials.
\n\u201cTill the beginning of June, we had a tough time in cremation and burial of infected patients\u2019 bodies as the staff needed to check with the north civic body every time for availability of space at Nigambodh Ghat and burial ground at ITO. Finally we started working on our projects,\u201d said an EDMC Official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
