Mandya: A 55-year-old Covid-19 positive woman’s body was left for hours at the doorstep after health officials and relatives refused to perform her last rites in Shettihalli, Mandya.
It is said that woman was awaiting her coronavirus test results when her condition deteriorated and villagers called an ambulance.

The villagers approached the health officials to follow COVID protocol and conduct the last rites of the woman but were turned away.
Later, after repeated objections, the district officials performed the woman’s burial
