Bhopal: Due to the rapid increase of Covid-19 (Corona) in Madhya Pradesh, there is a pile of 150 Ashthi Kalash in the lockers of Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat in Bhopal. Many people are placing the ashes of the Kalash in the resting ghats after cremating their families so that they can be later immersed in the holy rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, or Narmada. This information was given by an officer of Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat on Saturday. The last rites of those who died of infection are being performed at this Vishram Ghat.
