These are the visuals that we captured yesterday in Delhi. Over 100 dead bodies were cremated at the Old Seemapuri Cremation Ground in East Delhi. Over 20 dead bodies were still in waiting as there was no space to accommodate their cremations. This was the situation in just one of the numerous cremation centres in Delhi. This is perhaps one of the worst tragedies the national capital has ever seen in the last many years.

A man who lost his father was seen pleading with the authorities to cremate his father immediately. He said, “I have a 5 year old alone at home, my wife is seriously ill in a hospital”.

A good samaritan who was seen helping relatives of victims in cremating dead bodies. We are told he refused to go home and he sleeps in his car next to the cremation centre.
