Chandigarh, Oct. 27 -- Honouring the wishes of 96-year-old Satyawati Sharma, her family donated her body to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) after her death on October 11, for its use in medical education and research. Sharma's son, Sarv Prakash Sharma, donated her body with the support of her daughter, Uma Agnihotri, daughter-in-law, Neeru Sharma, grandson Abhimanyu and other family members.
