Relatives moved the body of a teacher who died because of NCOV last week.

During pre-election preparation, Mishra participated in the training course in a small room with dozens of others, when they were instructed to run the voting points.

When Mishra went home at the end of the election day, he looked very ill.

India recently recorded about 4,000 deaths a day but public health professionals believe that official figures do not reflect the actual situation, when hospitals, test locations are overloaded and more

About 2,000 officers were likely to die because of Covid-19 after the election in Uttar Pradesh, of which more than 700 teachers.

Mishra's brother, Shailendra Kumar Mishra, tried to persuade himself to participate in the election.

Public health professionals show that elections held in Indian states earlier this year is one of the factors that lead to increased serious cases.

The elections in India, even at the local level, often require a large mobilization of officials.

"They understand that serving elections are part of their work," said Suresh Yadav, General Secretary Secretary of Uttar Pradesh, said.

Unions have proposed the government and the Election Committee to postpone the voting for Covid-19 complicated developments.

This spokesman rejected the thesis that the state government is statisting with death.

Lawyers also filed a petition asking Allahabad to postpone the election.

However, trade unions, elections and families said that officials did not deploy in-demand translation measures.

"The instructions for translation rooms almost do not make a difference. They have been very poorly managed. No masks, without disinfectants, also do not comply with the rules of social spacing," Adesh Kumar Singh said.

Mahesh Prasad's family, 50 years old, principal of a primary school, also tried to advise him not to serve elections.

After from the polling point on April 20, Prasad looked tired.

Family noticed that doctors kept distance and asked if they suggest that prasad infected with NCOV.

When the oxygen vase of the prasad, the doctors must take the oxygen bottle from another patient.

Singh spokesman said the state of Uttar Pradesh would compensate $ 41,000 to the family of officials who died for Covid-19 after being infected with the election process.

That means the Prasad family and many others may not receive compensation because they are not tested.
