The project has already commenced in Kallahalli crematorium ground at the cost of Rs 1 crore. Mandya City Municipality Council (CMC) president Arunkumar told TOI that the state government has entrusted the construction of the crematorium to Nirmiti Kendra. "Truly, we are thankful to the government for sanctioning the funds for the crematorium. Combined efforts of the people's representatives and district administration, has finally yielded dividends. The crematorium will be built on a 2500 sqft area at Kallahalli crematorium ground," he added.
Electric crematoriums are very much needed here. With increasing population and decreasing availability of land, improving crematorium grounds has become a major headache for local bodies. Hence, electric crematoriums, which are said to be "pollution-free crematoriums" should be a single solution for multiple problems related to cremations.
The electric crematorium is expected to reduce pollution. It also it takes away the burden of poor people who has to shell out more money for wood for pyre cremation. It is an open secret that burning dead bodies in open ground causing health problems. The gases released from burning corpse cannot be controlled, which mixes with the open air and pollutes the environment. People residing close to traditional crematoriums are more vulnerable to health hazards due to pyre cremations.
"Unless, people shed their inhibitions and opt for eco-friendly solutions of cremation, environment pollution and deforestations cannot be controlled," said Ramesh, a science teacher said.
