Calcutta High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>Tapabrata Chakraborty, J.\u00a0 directed the State to take necessary steps to minimise threat perception among public and asked the State to submit a report regarding the steps taken.<\/p>\n

Petitioner through the present petition submitted that adjacent to the petitioner’s residence there is a graveyard and that on 03-04-2020 the local administration allowed the dead body of a person who expired due to the virus attack, to be buried though no death certificate was produced.<\/p>\n

Further it was submitted that the said action is derogatory to the guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation pertaining to \u201cInfection Prevention and Control for the Safe Management of a Dead Body in the Context of COVID-19\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Court was also informed that, Howrah District was recently declared as a “hotspot” area.<\/p>\n

It was also alleged that, State authorities have not taken appropriate steps as per the directives contained in the various orders as annexed to the writ petition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus such inaction warrants immediate interference of this Court.<\/p>\n

Bench stated that,<\/p>\n

In the present unprecedented situation which has occasioned due to the COVID-19 virus, the authorities and the people at large are required to work hand in hand to avert any further disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Respondent shall submit a report in the form of an affidavit apprising the Court about the developments and steps taken.<\/p>\n
