EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 15: A meeting of Samaj Sudhar Committee (SSC), Simbal Camp held under the chairmanship of Gurcharan Singh wherein the committee members condemned another shameful incident of denying cremation of a Covid-19 victim’s body in Shastri Nagar cremation ground yesterday.
The victim of corona virus hailing from Simbal Camp breathed his last at the Government Medical College (GMC) hospital and authorities at their own and without consultation with the local inhabitants / Panchayat took the body of the deceased to Shastri Nagar Cremation Ground where the committee of the Shastri Nagar Creamation ground has put the lock on the door and did not allow body to be cremated. The Committee said the denial of cremation to Covid-19 victims’ bodies is a heinous crime as per law also. A decent burial/cremation is a fundamental right of every citizen of this country guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution and it cannot be denied under the garb of protests.
The Committee members urged the Divisional commissioner Jammu to order enquiry into the circulation of fake news regarding denial to cremate victim’s body at Simbal Camp by the authorities from RS Pura. |
