In a heartfelt appeal, the residents of Pernem have united to raise a pressing matter that touches the core of their community’s values. The call resounds for the establishment of public crematoriums in every village within the taluka, underlining the importance of these spaces for all segments of society, especially those facing economic challenges.
While the region currently possesses cremation facilities, the collective voice of the people points to a gap in meeting the needs of the underprivileged when it comes to proper cremation arrangements. The situation necessitates proactive government involvement, urging the acquisition of suitable land to accommodate additional crematoriums. This move would ensure that every departed soul is bid farewell with the respect and honour they deserve, regardless of their social status.
Central to this plea is the prevailing scrutiny directed at the existing Pernem crematorium. Its shortcomings, including limited wood availability for cremation, subpar lighting, and an insufficient water supply, have drawn attention. This spotlight on inadequacies drives home the urgency of addressing the matter promptly and comprehensively.
