Surat | Sunday | 31st March, 2019

Summary:

Maybe they are now busy due to the election season, and there may be a shortage of kafan cloth, too. But we will circulate the message in the markets about NCH’s requirement of kafan cloth.” “The requirement of kafan cloth at NCH is not so big and that a single trader in the market can take care of it. The hospital, which needs around 5,000 to 6,000 pieces of the white cloth to cover these bodies, is yet to find a donor from the markets this year.Majority of it is supplied by the textile markets located on Ring Road. Surat: Wrapped up in six yards of poll strategies — selling specialised sarees with images of PM Modi and Pulwama attack — Surti textile traders are all out to appease the voters, while the corpses of unclaimed bodies languish in the post mortem room of the New Civil Hopsital (NCH) waiting for 2.5 mtrs of charity from the markets for their kafans..
