20 platforms being created to take pressure off Sarai Kale Khan crematorium
In a move that reflects the severity of the COVID-19 crisis in Delhi, a public park has been converted into a cremation ground in south-east Delhi. Pyres are likely to start burning at the ground from Monday as bodies pile up across the city and designated crematoriums struggle to keep pace.
A worker at the nearby Sarai Kale Khan crematorium said they have only 20 pyre platforms and two e-furnaces one of which is out of order and the other is running round the clock.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns hit the globe last year, people from different sectors have been finding it difficult to earn their daily bread..

Shelter caretakers make lists despite no age proof for many, residents wait for doctors to reach facilities
At a west Delhi night shelter run by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), caretaker Mohammed Jasin is facing two problems. In absence of any age proof of the homeless, he has to write down names of people eligible for COVID vaccination just by looking at them.
He also has to field questions by eligible recipients about when they will get the jab.
