Workers at cremation grounds clearing open space to carry out funeral ritesAt 06:10 p.m. on Thursday, 12 bodies were in the process of being cremated at the COVID-designated ESI Cremation Grounds in Hyderabad. The number of bodies flowing in for cremations is such that workers at the cremation ground are clearing open space to carry out the funeral rites. The cremation ground has two locations where there are raised platforms where funerals are carried out. Now, I have stopped counting the number of bodies that are coming here,” said a juice vendor at the entrance of the funeral ground. There are three designated cremation grounds for Hindus at Amberpet, Bansilalpet and the ESI Cremation Ground.
