My story on Padma Shri Jitender Singh Shunty.

The super spreader second COVID-19 wave in India has locked up most of us at home. But there are some good samaritans who are out there helping those in need.

One such person is Jitender Singh Shunty, who has been running a free ambulance service, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal, in East Delhi, for over two decades.

He has set up a makeshift office outside the Seemapuri crematorium. His team has been picking up bodies from hospitals and homes free of cost right through the pandemic. But he says the last few weeks have been nightmarish.

"I have brought in 115 bodies in a day. Of which, 40-45 bodies were picked up from homes. People have died of COVID-19 during home quarantine. Often no ambulance goes to pick up the body. We pick the bodies, sanitize them, pack them, and then cremate them here at Seemapuri crematorium," said Jitender Singh Shunty, Founder, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal
