Gujarat Covid-19 crisis: Surat crematorium sees over a hundred corpses a day with no relief in sight
In a special feature, BBC Gujarati reported that the exhaust chimneys at the crematorium are melting because the gas furnaces are burning round the clock.
At this crematorium in Surat, in the last few days, 100-115 bodies have been arriving for cremation everyday. Otherwise, on an average day, they get 20-25 cremations. Their exhaust chimneys are melting because the gas furnaces are burning 24/7. [v @bbcnewsgujarati] pic.twitter.com/aI97OtuO3E
