Bengaluru: The second wave of corona continues to wreak havoc across the country. In many states of the country, the cremation ground for the cremation of dead bodies has started falling short. Seven crematoriums in Karnataka's capital Bengaluru are not able to cremate the bodies, while the bodies are also being cremated at a granite mine on the outskirts of the city.

Bengaluru Urban District Commissioner Manjunath has said that apart from this, a land which has not been used for a long time in Tavarakera is also being used for the last rites of the people. Manjunath told the media that the granite mine at Gednahalli has been recently converted into a crematorium to ensure a dignified funeral for the deceased. Both Gedanahalli and Tavarkere are 6 km away from the city west of Bengaluru.

This place is about 25 km from the city centre. 30 to 40 bodies are being cremated daily at Gednahalli. In addition, all the seven Covid crematoriums in the city have been running round the clock for the past three weeks, and one of them has had to be closed for maintenance on Saturday.
