BPP Trustees meeting with Union Leader Chandbibi Zaidi along with the pallbearers of our Doongerwadi

Dear Community members,

Earlier today we had a meeting with the Union Leader Chandbibi Zaidi along with the pallbearers of our Doongerwadi in regards to the handling of Parsi/Irani Covid bodies. Certain requests were made by the staff in regards to their safety along with their families. After a healthy discussion and agreeing with their requests, we are pleased to inform you that the pallbearers have graciously and selflessly agreed to lend their services to give “khand” to a Parsi/Irani covid victim.

Henceforth, god forbid a Parsi/Irani passes due to Covid, his/her body can get taken to the Doongerwadi and consigned to the dokhma that has been identified only for Covid victims.

Thank you,

Mrs. Armaity Tirandaz, Chairperson, BPP
Mr. Viraf Mehta, Trustee, BPP
Mr. Xerxes Dastur, Trustee, BPP
Mrs. Anahita Desai, Trustee, BPP
Mr. Hoshang Jal, Trustee, BPP
