Representative image NEW DELHI: The number of Covid-protocol funerals in the city continues to spike, with the civic report stating that 432 such funerals took place on Wednesday till 7pm — up from 193 on April 16. Over 410 Covid funerals were conducted on Tuesday, 357 on Monday and 290 on Sunday. A total of 1,947 Covid-protocol funerals have taken place in the six days since April 16. The consistent rise means the crematoria in Mangolpuri, Dwarka and Subhash Nagar are running beyond their Covid-reserved capacity while the Panchkuian Road burning ghat is catering to almost double — 27 instead of 15 — Covid patients’ bodies daily. The rush has led to longer waiting times for grieving families.
