Village refuses to bury its dead; claims deceased was corona +ve

We want to cremate our family member in the village we were born, Poira-Mayem villager Govind Varad has demanded from the government.

The issue of cremating a loved one faced by Chikodi-Vadar family has not yet solved.

When a death take place in the community why do they they have to run helter-skelter with a dead body. Is the fear of the virus so much?
