Lucknow's 'Cover Up' Move After Dramatic Videos Of Crematorium Amid Covid

Lucknow is among the cities in the country that have seen an alarming rise in coronavirus cases prompting the Uttar Pradesh government to announce new restrictions such as a night curfew.

Disquieting scenes from the Lucknow crematorium of endless funeral fires and reports of irregularities in the number of deaths have sparked a response from authorities in the Uttar Pradesh capital: Block the view with blue metal sheets. This video is of the crematorium ghat located in Bhainsakund, Lucknow. I am not able to give speech and am knowledgeable, so just understand that when the change in the governance event, the situation on the ground is like this.#Lucknow#stayhomestaysafe#मोदी_सरकार_ध्यान_दो 😱 pic.twitter.com/NmBMYQILMS Workers were seen tying up the metal sheets, often found at construction sites, a day after reports questioned a mismatch in between the official figure of deaths because of COVID-19 and the data from the crematoriums. The move also comes a day after a video of the crematorium with a large number of burning pyres was widely shared on social media, triggering concern.
