Cong: Why set up new crematoria
Hyderabad: Telangana Congress treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy on Sunday expressed doubts over the state government’s move to set up five new LPG-fuelled crematoria in the city.
The LPG-fuelled crematoria would be installed at cremation grounds in Charminar, Khairatabad, Secunderabad, Uppal and Kukatpally zones in the next 15 days with each having a capacity of handling 12 bodies each day.
“The Covid-19 death toll in Telangana, as shown in the official media bulletin, never exceeded 15 on any given day. Why is the state government making arrangements to cremate so many bodies by providing five new crematoria?” Narayana Reddy questioned.
“The chief minister should have dedicated all resources to handle Covid-19 in the initial stages itself. The state government was not upgrading hospitals and has failed to ensure adequate supply of ventilators and oxygen equipment, he said.
