NHRC Issues Notice Over Unclaimed Bodies in Raipur Hospital

Imagine a hospital with many dead bodies that no one has claimed.

The government needs to make sure these bodies are treated with respect, even after they die.

The NHRC, which is like a group that protects human rights, is concerned about this situation in Raipur, India.

They heard that the bodies are piling up in the hospital mortuary and there isn't a place for proper last rites.

The NHRC believes everyone deserves a dignified farewell, and they've asked the government to explain why this is happening and what they plan to do about it.

There was land allocated for the last rites a few years ago, but it hasn't been used.

The NHRC wants the government to take action.
