New Delhi:

With the Chikungunya epidemic gripping the national capital region, there are some spine chilling tales which are coming to the fore. In an appalling incident reported earlier in the day, Chote Lal, a resident of East Delhi’s Karkardooma locality was rendered helpless as he had to wander in an ambulance carrying the dead body of his wife Anu, a victim of the dreaded virus.

Later his wife's body was kept in someone’s home with the police’s assistance and interference. In the most unhuman act by his landlord Devendra and his wife, they didn’t allow Anu’s dead body to come inside the home after which Chote took her body back in the ambulance and roamed around in Delhi for five long hours.

As opposed to Chote Lal’s statement, the landlord Devendra said Chote Lal didn’t have any documents of his wife’s death that could prove that she died suffering from Chikungunya and was admitted in East Delhi’s Hedgewar Hospital where the doctors couldn’t save her from the dreadful disease. But what happened to her body after that is something very gruesome. 

After Anju’s death, Chote Lal took her body in the ambulance to the rented house where they were residing on account of the disease. He added that they gave Rs 2000 to him to keep the body in the mortuary and also they took responsibility of her cremation.

For a reasonably long time, various parts of India had to combat the problem of dreadful diseases but the question here is not about the lackadaisical system which was the culprit in Dana Majhi’s case but the lack of empathy to fellow beings.
