Delhi Police helps citizens in performing last rites of coronavirus victims

As city' Covid-19 death toll surges to 380 in a day, Delhi Police steps in to take responsibility to perform the last rites of virus victims.

From helping a Lt Colonel posted in Leh in cremating his father-in-law who died of coronavirus to supporting people in performing funerals of deceased family members, the Delhi Police says it is going an extra mile to help citizens in distress. This comes after the city reported the highest single-day surge in coronavirus death toll with 380 people succumbing to the deadly virus on Monday. A senior police officer said Lieutenant Colonel Soumen Mondal called up the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) for urgent help regarding cremation of his father-in-law, who was Covid-19 positive, and no one was willing to help him and even crematorium was not available.
