How Yogi hides Covid deaths

May 03, 2021 10:47

After denying any oxygen shortage, the Yogi Adityanath government is focusing on hiding the spiralling Covid deaths by covering up crematories and banning pictures of the burning pyres that are now circulating worldwide.

High plastic and cloth banners have been put up all along the pavement railings on the only open side of Rajghat, the lone cremation ground in the chief minister's hometown of Gorakhpur, blocking view of the pyres and the long queues of bodies.

Citing religious sanctity, the banners criminalise the shooting of photos or videos of the crematory. Read the report here.
