Nation was shocked and many criticized them as super spreaders of coronavirus. The organization was subjected to intense scrutiny in spreading the virus. The nightmare for the officials was that all the attendees and their contacts had to now be traced and quarantined to prevent further spread of the deadly virus.
After one year, the same Sunni Islamic organization
is in the news for some good reasons when the nation is desperate in fighting
with coronavirus. Tablight Jamaat volunteers have performed the last rites of
scores of coronavirus victims at Tirupati. The members of Tirupati Muslim
Association formed Covid-19 JAC in August 2020. So far, they buried 504
covid-19 victims as per Islamic religious law. They also performed last rites
for Hindu and Christian people. The Muslim Organization has received many
applause for their doings and it was eroded the bad impression to them from
last year’s events. Their service is in the news when people are facing
problems for graveyards across the nation.
Tablighi Jamaat volunteers in Tirupati are
working round the clock to give a noble farewell for dead bodies. Their activities
start from picking up the dead body from house or hospital, taking the body to
graveyard and conducting last rites. The team performs the last rites of
coronavirus victims as per the religious customs of the deceased family. The
team made arrangements of PPE kits to their members who were involved in the
activities. The team has been conducting funerals of at least 15 bodies daily
for the past month, irrespective of community and religion.
