Crematorium workers do have empathy

12 workers have contributed ₹20,000 to CM’s Public Relief Fund

People presume that workers of crematoriums, who handle dead bodies every day, had lost their sense of empathy. But the 12 workers of ‘Anjali,’ a crematorium maintained by Rotary Club of Madurai Midtown Trust at Moolakarai in Madurai, have proved it wrong. Despite working round the clock due to the influx of COVID-19 bodies, the crematorium workers, who do not earn a decent income, have jointly contributed ₹20,000 to the Chief Minister’s Public Relief Fund. The workers, along with Trust chairman K. Mathan, handed over the money to Collector Aneesh Sekar and Corporation Commissioner S. Visakan, who conducted a sudden inspection at the crematorium.
