When the dreaded pandemic gripped the nation last year, this team had got engaged in this job. This time again the team has undertaken this service. A few days back, the team performed the funeral of a Bengaluru based woman who passed away in Bantwal a few days back.

Zeenat, president of the Front, says that such teams have been formed in different taluks of the district. She said that each of these teams of five to six members has been provided training in the talk.

She said that in the past, the administration used to perform the funeral of Covid patients without handing over the bodies to the close ones. She said that the teams have been formed to make sure that the bodies are disposed of in peaceable areas. The team members take all Covid precautions and wear PPE kits when performing the funeral, duly following the religious beliefs of the respective families," she said.
