Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Tuesday regretted the episodes where locals opposed the burial of doctors who died of Covid-19 in the city and urged all to respect the dedication of the health workers. He also equated doctors, besides other frontline workers in the battle against coronavirus, to God for the “selfless” services rendered by them.

The city police chief warned of severe action against those preventing burial of Covid victims. “It is sad that the burial of doctors was opposed to at a time when (doctors) are fighting to protect us against coronavirus,” he wrote on his official twitter handle.
