Some Covid victims are denied even a decent send-off after dying of the infections. Shocking visuals from Chhattisgarh's Rajnandgaon showed that a garbage van was used to ferry the bodies of patients who died of Covid-19.
In images tweeted by NDTV journalist Anurag Dwary, four sanaition workers dressed in PPE kits can be seen dumping the bodies in the back of the van for taking them to the cremation ground.
Chhattisgarh on Wednesday reported 14,250 new Covid-19 cases and 120 more deaths, taking the infection count to 4,86,244 and the death figure to 5,307, govt data showed.
