Pressure forces SMC to redeploy decommissioned morgue vans

Surat | Tuesday | 9th October, 2018

Summary:

Some days there could be delay in the arrival of a morgue van, but it does not happen always. The morgue vans are used for taking bodies for cremation and burial to different places in the city. The number of private morgue vans is 15. Cremation grounds are at Katargam, Rander and Athwa zones of the city.“There is no apparent shortage of morgue vans in the city. The city witnesses death of at least 125 people daily out of 50 lakh population and hence there exists a shortage of morgue vans, sources said..
