Dozens of possible corona deaths washed up on Gange’s banks …

Dozens of bodies of possible corona victims have been washed up on the banks of the Ganges River in northern India. Locals think the bodies were dumped in the river because cremation sites are overloaded or because family members could not afford wood for the stake. Some of the bodies had been partially burned. The local population is shocked and the images are also reacted with horror on Indian social media.

“People are terrified of contracting the corona virus. The bodies must be buried, ”local resident Narendra Kumar told television channel NDTV. The authorities say they will still have the remains buried or cremated. They counted about forty corpses, but the media are talking about perhaps a hundred corona deaths washed ashore.

The discovery of the bodies is another example of the disastrous corona situation in India. According to official figures, about 4,000 people die from the coronavirus every day and the total death toll is nearly 250,000. However, many experts believe that the death rate is much higher.

The corona virus is spreading rapidly in India from major cities to the rest of the country. There are hardly any hospitals, especially in rural areas.
