Used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) dumped outside the crematorium in Tata Colony and sometimes on the road leading to it has became cause for concern for Mulund residents, as they feel that rag pickers and dogs coming in contact with them might lead to the further spread of the virus.

The residents have already been worried about COVID-19 bodies being brought into the area for cremation, and now the dumping of the kits has added to it. Sometimes even the plastic sheets in which the bodies are wrapped are dumped in drains.
