<span style="color: #222222;">Union Health Ministry has notified new protocol for post-mortem procedure. As per the new protocol, post-mortem can now be performed after sunset in hospitals having adequate infrastructure. This move will promote organ donation and transplant.<br />''<br />''Video recording of post-mortem will be done for all post-mortem conducted in the night to rule out any suspicion. However, cases under categories such as homicide, suicide, rape, decomposed bodies, suspected foul play should not be subjected for post-mortem during night unless there is a law and order situation. All concerned Ministries, Departments, State Governments and Union Territories have been notified of the change in protocol.</span><br />
