Even the dead can't rest in peace (Daily News 9 oct 2001) Relatives of patients pronounced dead at the Rajangane Tract 5 hospital have to spend sleepless nights at the hospital morgue to protect the dead bodies from wild cats invading the morgue to devour human flesh until the bodies are released to them after the inquests. Residents in the area said that the morgue is in a dilapidated state and its main entrance is without a door. Although the building has a window frame affixed to it the window too is missing. So wild cats gain easy access to the morgue and attack the bodies unless someone keeps vigil to drive them away. |
