[COVID-19] State will have to scrupulously ensure that not more than 20 people attend burial/cremation: Karnataka HC

The Karnataka High Court today directed the state government to "scrupulously implement" its own guideline mandating that not more than 20 persons are allowed to attend burial/cremation of dead bodies amid the COVID-19 crisis.

This direction came in two letter petitions and related matters underlining the lack of medical facilities for COVID-19 patients in hospitals.
