JAMMU, June 5: Social activist Balvinder Singh has appealed the UT Administration, including JMC Mayor to install CNG-LPG based crematorium at the earliest at four major crematorium of Jammu i.e Shastri Nagar, Jogi Gate, Shakti Nagar and Channi Himmat.
In a statement, Singh said that Government must consider to install CNG-LPG based crematorium in place of electric crematorium , as after searching and enquiring from different crematoriums in the adjoining States, where electric crematorium are installed and working, it is found that LPG based cremation is better option as compared to electric crematorium.
“Electric crematorium machine has to keep running for 24 hours to maintain the pre heating, which is not possible in Jammu as there took place only three to four cremations daily as compared to Delhi, UP and Haryana where there always remains heavy rush for cremation,” he explained, adding that gas crematorium, on the other hand, needs to start only twenty five minutes for pre heating.
