NEW DELHI: Days after the Union jal shakti ministry and the National Mission for Clean Ganga expressed regret over bodies being dumped in the Ganga, UP has deployed police teams to ask people to refrain from water burials. It is also monitoring activities on CCTV. There is apprehension that the bodies were of Covid patients.
UP police has pressed into service 34 teams in Ghazipur and Ballia, including at 18 ghats, to keep vigil. The cops can be seen travelling on boats and telling people on public address systems to not immerse dead bodies. State Disaster Relief Force and flood units of PAC are aiding the effort.

The Uttar Pradesh authorities continue to retrieve unclaimed decomposed bodies of suspected Covid victims in the state with corpses today found buried in the sand on the banks of the Ganga in UP’s Unnao district.
Over the last three days, decomposed and bloated bodies have been found washed ashore in two other districts of the state Ghazipur and Ballia.
The first such incident was reported four days ago from the bordering Buxar district in Bihar, where the district administration retrieved 71 bodies from the Ganga.
