Workers says they have never seen such a demand in the past
Insaf Sibil, a 23-year-old youth from Chakkumkadavu in Kozhikode, is by now inured to the sight of body bags and workers clad in PPE kits cremating the mortal remains of COVID-19 patients. He is part of the city’s trained volunteer group that has come to the aid of the city Corporation at a time when crematoriums are struggling to handle the increasing number of deaths caused by the second wave of the pandemic.
