4 years on, Amballoor still a panchayat without crematorium
The Hindu
Construction of gas crematorium, started in 2017, yet to be over
Since its outbreak last year, COVID-19 has claimed 18 lives in Amballoor panchayat in Ernakulam district. But none could be cremated there. They had to be taken to the neighbouring panchayats as the gas crematorium in Amballoor has been in the making for the past four years. Though the panchayat authorities take refuge in the argument that majority of them died outside the limits of the panchayat, the fact remains that things would not have been any different had they breathed their last in their home panchayat.More Related News
