With the civic body allowing burials in only a handful of grounds in the city to bury patients killed by Coronavirus, corporator from Bandra Asif Zakaria has written to the municipal commissioner seeking clarity on the matter and has suggested that a few in every ward can be allowed for burials.
Zakaria also pointed out that families whose relatives are dying of natural causes are finding it difficult to carry out last rites as burial grounds are demanding police NOCs.

The Health Department has laid out various SOPs for the disposal of dead bodies along with a list of seven Muslim burial grounds and 11 Hindu cemeteries in the city and suburbs.
