Due to the lack of identification and burial of unknown bodies, the administrations of the morgues are facing mounting pressure for their appropriate ‘disposal’.
For a long period of time, the burial of nameless bodies has been stopped in ‘Shehr-e-Khamoshan’ cemetery.
According to the preliminary investigation, most of the deceased died of drug abuse, however, after the identity of the dead bodies, the necropsy report will reveal the real cause of the death.
