In yet another instance of negligence towards cremating the bodies of deadly coronavirus outbreak victims, a photograph of Covid-19 patient who succumbed to the infected being carried to the graveyard in autorickshaw in Telangana has surfaced

The incident, reported to have occurred on Friday, came to light on Saturday when the photograph of the body being transported in autorickshaw was shared on the social media and was played up in the local television channels

Neither the driver of the autorickshaw, in which the body was transported, nor the person sitting beside him in the front seat were sported wearing personal protection equipment (PPE), which is mandatory for the people disposing the bodies of Covid-19 patients

District collector C Narayana Reddy said he has ordered an inquiry into the incident and terminated the services of contract municipal employee, who took the body of Covid-19 victim to the graveyard in an autorickshaw

Reddy said the hospital had informed the relatives of the patient to wait for one hour for the ambulance arrive, but they preferred to carry the body in their own autorickshaw

“So, the hospital authorities arranged for contract municipal employee to accompany the body to the graveyard,” Reddy said

“The hospital superintendent has been instructed to file criminal cases against those employees who were involved in handing over the body
