Now, CNG-run crematoriums

NEW DELHI: After CNG-run autos and buses, now crematoriums operating on the environment-friendly fuel CNG have been set up in various parts of the Capital. In the coming years, all crematoriums in the city will run on environment-friendly fuel.

``Crematoriums based on the environment-freindly fuel, CNG, have been set in Delhi. In fact, the first such crematorium at Bela Road has already become operational,'' chairman of the health committee of the Municipal corporation Ramesh Pandit said in his presentation of the budget estimates for the corporation's health department before the MCD standing committee on Monday.

``Till now, four CNG-run crematoriums have begun operations in Delhi. While two of these are new units, as many are ones which were earlier run on electricity,''Mr Pandit told the committee. -UNI
