A couple of days after the foundation stone for the electric crematorium was laid at Chandanwadi, Marine Lines, SoBo locals who were part of this project, are now waiting for the work to begin.

The electric crematorium is part of this facility that primarily serves people residing in the A, B and C wards. With a part of the electric crematorium being dysfunctional for some time, we have had reports of long queues at the crematorium and of relatives and mourners forced to stand outside due to lack of seats.
