HYDERABAD: The dangerous coronavirus created a different situation across the globe. Thousands of people are falling prey to the deadly COVID-19 infection. In a very shocking incident, the bodies of at least 50 deceased coronavirus patients were burnt in mass cremation in Hyderabad due to a lack of transportation and issues with manpower.
