If the plans of Kochi Corporation are anything to go by, soon the city will have an eco-friendly, solar and biogas-based crematorium.
The local body is holding talks with the Rotary Club of Cochin for setting up the new facility at Ravipuram. The existing electric crematorium had turned defunct in 2008, and it is after this that the civic body started exploring possibilities of constructing a new one. "The project is estimated to cost around Rs 1 crore. The new crematorium will provide several facilities including a prayer hall for holding pre-funeral rites. Also, corporation officials visited some of the crematoriums in Coimbatore in order to understand the working of solar and biogas-based facilities," said a senior official.
