Crematoriums in Gujarat (India) operate around the clock as COVID death toll mounts
Crematoriums in Gujarat operate around the clock as COVID death toll mounts; new cremation facilities set up
Because of non-stop fire in the furnace of some crematoriums, the steel plates on which dead bodies are kept for cremation have melted and the chimneys turned red hot
Over a dozen new crematoriums set up in Gujarat in the wake of the second wave of coronavirus pandemic are operating around the clock as the death toll from COVID-19 mounts.
In Gandhinagar district, 32 furnaces are operating in ten crematoriums, two of them old ones and eight set up recently. An average of 40 bodies have been arriving at the old crematoriums every day

Anticipating the arrival of more dead bodies, crematoriums have begun preparations in advance. In the new Kailash Mokshaadham crematorium of Surat, more than 25 pyres are kept ready in advance so that people do not have to wait long when they bring bodies from government and private hospitals. - National Herald India
