As death toll mounts, Karnataka allows burial, cremation of covid victims in family land or farmhouses coastaldigest.com news network April 21, 2021 Bengaluru, Apr 21: The government of Karnataka today showed green signal to families to cremate and bury bodies of covid-19 victims in their own land or farm house. This has been approved to decentralise the process and allow the family members to say goodbye to their loved ones without having to queue up at crematoria and burial grounds, according to an order issued by Principal Secretary (Revenue) N Manjunatha Prasad. The government's decision comes in the wake of several complaints and concerns about lack of space or long queues at burial grounds and crematoria.
