Two weeks after he succumbed to coronavirus, a government teacher was put on Covid control room duty at the collector’s office in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar apparently because authorities did not know about his death.

The incident came to light when a duty chart issued by district authorities showed Nand Kishor, a resident of Khanjahanpur village, posted at the control room of the collectorate from June 10 to 24, the official said.

The chart was issued as the authorities had not received the news of Kishor’s death, he said.
