The foundation stone for the renovation of the nearly 100-year-old crematorium at Sangolda was laid by Kedar J. Naik, marking the start of a long-awaited upgrade to the facility.
The ₹35 lakh project aims to modernise the crematorium, which has remained neglected for years. Planned improvements include the construction of a covered shed and the enhancement of basic infrastructure to ensure better convenience and dignity for families.
The ceremony was attended by members of the village panchayat and local residents, who welcomed the initiative and described it as a much-needed development for the community.
Residents expressed hope that the renovation would be completed within the stipulated timeframe and significantly improve the condition of the ageing facility.
