indiaUpdated: Aug 01, 2019 17:39 ISTThe last 10 years in the life of a senior nursing incharge at JK Lone Hospital has been involved in visiting the crematorium of unclaimed bodies — daily. As per the caretakers, an unclaimed body is handed over by police to the crematoriums after the due medical process is followed. When asked about the rituals belonging to different religion for the last rites and if he follows only Hindu rituals to cremate the bodies, Tamboliya said: “Since a body is unclaimed, we mostly cannot specify the religion. Sometimes when we are sure of the religion, a body is burnt or buried as per the religion. A helpline specifically for the unclaimed bodies should be started so that the process does not take much time,” said Tamboliya.
