The body of Harish Chander Shankarlal, who died last week, is decomposing in a mortuary in Virar West, as the air-conditioner has been malfunctioning for the past three days. The staff said they informed the authorities soon after the AC first malfunctioned, but nothing has been done yet.

The 45-year-old migrant worker walked/ran 30 km to catch a special train to Rajasthan but collapsed and died near the Vasai Road railway station on Thursday. His body was kept at the mortuary in Virat Nagar as the authorities still await his COVID-19 test report. The cleaning staff told mid-day on Monday that the bodies of Shankarlal and another unidentified person is rotting as "the AC is not functioning properly".
