The incident in Korba, Chhattisgarh, where a woman’s partially burned body was transported to the hospital in a garbage truck, has sparked outrage across the region. This event reflects a disturbing lack of respect for the deceased.
The incident occurred in the Bakimongra police station area. Following the discovery of the body of Geeta Shri Vishwas, the police followed standard procedures, preparing the body for a post-mortem. Shockingly, no proper transport such as a शव वाहन or ambulance was available.
The police attempted to secure a vehicle from South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), but their requests were turned down. As a result, the body was transported in a municipal garbage truck to the hospital. The incident underscores the urgent need for improvements in the handling of deceased individuals and the provision of essential services.
