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.
