NEW DELHI:

According to public health department data, cremations at non-conventional sites have almost doubled in Delhi since the Covid-19 outbreak—from 3-5% of total cremations before the pandemic to 9% presently. "There are 21 CNG/electric furnaces operational across Delhi. The number has grown manifold since the Covid-19 pandemic. We are further planning to increase capacity by adding nine furnaces in the next year," a senior MCD official said.
