200 corpses found rotting at hospital roof in Pakistan's Multan, see reports

While speaking to ANI, a customer said, "Before buying any fish we ask the fisherman where did they bring these fishes from. Ganga water is not clean these days and dead bodies are floating in the river that's why we are not eating fishes brought from Ganga." He further urged the administration to clean the Ganga as soon as possible.

"People are afraid after seeing dead bodies in Ganga river and that is why we are avoiding big fishes these days. I came here to buy small fishes because they are bought from small ponds," said another buyer from the market.

Another fish seller said that people are not buying fish because of the fear of getting infected after consuming fish and the reduction in shopping hours has also resulted in a decline in sales. Last week, around a dozen of corpses, was spotted in the Ganga in Bihar's Buxar.

"10 to 12 corpses that were seen in Ganga came floating from a distance. It seems these corpses were floating for the last five to seven days. We are making arrangements to cremate these corpses," said KK Upadhyay, Buxar Sub Divisional Officer (SDO). Authorities believe the relatives of those who succumbed to the virus, may not have been able to find space for the last rites.
