The hue and cry in the capital of the country are on the rise these days. While patients are not getting timely treatment, the crematorium is now facing a shortage of wood after their death. In fact, the number of deaths of covid patients is continuously increasing every day, leading to an increase in the shortage of wood in the municipal crematoriums. Due to which the municipal corporation has now sought help from the state forest department.

To address this problem, the East Delhi Municipal Corporation has issued instructions to the authorities to use dry dung as fuel. Before the second wave came, the city's largest Nigambodh crematorium required 6,000-8,000 kg of wood every day, but now 80,000-90,000 kg of wood is required every day.
Delhi govt to address the shortage of wood: According to information received, North MCD Mayor Jai Prakash said that the stock of wood in crematoriums is declining rapidly.
