“Deadly campaign”

With reference to the letter "Deadly campaign” by D. Wadia (Readers’ Forum, Parsiana, January 7, 2007), transporting the corpses after a week or so to a remote area will not only require clearances from the local authorities but also moral clearance from the person/s transporting them to ensure that the remains are not traded by them as was the case in the Nithari killings near New Delhi.

Moreover, even if the transporter is an individual with a conscience, how safe will the bodies be after they are placed at the selected place? I do not think this is a practical solution to the problem.
