Hundreds of bodies were found buried in the sand on the banks of the Ganges River in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. According to Indian media, the bodies are believed to be those of people who died of the corona virus, whose bodies were buried in the sand on the banks of the Ganges when crematoriums and other resources were not available. However, due to strong winds, the bodies started appearing when the sand was removed.
Upon receiving the information, the police reached the spot and are investigating the matter. Police say they are questioning people from nearby villages. At the same time, police are making announcements over loudspeakers instructing citizens not to bury those who have died from the corona virus in the sand. According to Indian media, more than 1,000 bodies have been found on the banks of the Ganges, but this has been denied by state government spokesman Naveet Sehgal. The spokesman also said the bodies had nothing to do with the corona virus outbreak. "People in nearby villages do not burn the corpses of their dead, but bury them,".
