The tragic incident of an elderly woman in Meerut dragging her dead son's body on a cart has shaken many. The woman and her younger son had nowhere to turn to for help and were unable to find a hearse vehicle to take the body to the crematorium.
The deceased, Raju, was a drunkard and was found dead near a wine shop on Tuesday. His body remained there for hours, until his mother and brother came and picked it up. Unable to find a vehicle to take the body to the last rites, they carried it on a cart and sought financial help from people around.
The dejected duo approached the police post for help and Officer Amit Kumar Malik rose to the occasion. He raised funds and conducted the last rites of the deceased. The family has been living in Meerut and originally hailed from Etawah district.
Meerut Chief Medical Officer Akhilesh Mohan has ordered an inquiry into why there was no hearse vehicle available to the family. He said, "In all hospitals in our district, hearse vehicles are available. If a case like this comes up, we make the vehicle available to their family. I have ordered an inquiry into this incident and we will speak after we get a report."
This heartbreaking incident has sparked a conversation on social media and an outcry for better facilities for the underprivileged. We hope the authorities take note of this and ensure that no family has to suffer such a tragedy again.
