Synopsis
Villagers along the UP-Bihar border told ET that there has been an increase in the sighting of floating bodies amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
On the recent sighting of bodies in the Yamuna river in UP’s Hamirpur district, a UP government official said during this period of the year, known as Pachak Nakshatra, many people just immerse the bodies in the Yamuna instead of cremating them.
The Uttar Pradesh and Bihar governments have stepped up patrolling along the river banks after the recovery of bodies, especially from the Ganga, and also started cremating the unclaimed bodies.

PATNA/BEGUSARAI/PRAYAGRAJ: At least 15 people have died due to suspected hooch poisoning in ‘dry’ Bihar and Uttar Pradesh since Holi on Monday. While Nawada, Begusarai and Rohtas districts of Bihar have together seen 11 deaths, the rest four deaths have taken place in Pratapgarh district of UP.
Police in Bihar, however, did not confirm any hooch death and were probing the incidents. Except in Begusarai, where police took possession of the bodies on Wednesday for conducting postmortem, the deceased in other districts were cremated by their kin, making it difficult for the administration to ascertain the cause of death.
