Dead body of Covid affected person thrown into river by hospital staff in Katihar (Bihar)

• Such insensitive and anti-social staff should be given life imprisonment by the Government
• Why is the administration not taking any action when  such incidents are happening persistently in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar since the last few days ? Or is the administration waiting for the Court to issue an order regarding this ?
