So far this voluntary foundation has completed the burial of about 300 dead. The government has approved four voluntary organizations to bury the dead in Corona, and the Rashid Foundation is one of these. The organization is working with various hospitals in the capital. Al Rashid Foundation provides free services in the capital.
FBCCI vice-president Nizamuddin Rajesh, Dilip Kumar Agarwala, director Sujib Ranjan Das and leaders of both the organizations were present at the occasion.
