Family takes man's body on motorcycle after failing to get hearse in MP's Shahdol
Shahdol (MP), Nov 27: A family had to transport a man's body 15 km on a motorcycle due to the unavailability of a hearse in Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district.
A video of the incident that took place on Sunday went viral on social media, prompting an official to clarify that the state health department does not provide vehicles to transport bodies.
Laluiya Baiga (56) died while undergoing treatment at the district hospital in Shahdol on Sunday morning.
The video shows the body placed between two riders being transported on a motorcycle, and the family members of the deceased are heard accusing the hospital of not arranging for a vehicle to take the body to their village Dhurvar, around 15 km from the district headquarters.
Baiga was brought to the facility in a serious condition and died during the treatment on Sunday morning, said the hospital's civil surgeon G S Parihar.
He clarified that the health department doesn't provide vehicles to transport bodies of deceased patients, and civic authorities and social workers arrange for hearses.
In this case, these vehicles were already engaged elsewhere. But the family wanted one immediately and decided to take the body on a two-wheeler instead, the official said.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
