Crematorium still awaits unclaimed body for trial run [1]

Sanjib Chakraborty
KOLKATA, July 28: It's been three months since the electric furnace for the crematorium ground of Madhyamgram municipality has been completed, but one detail has kept it from being inaugurated and put to use.
An unclaimed body is required for the trial run of the furnace, located at Sajirhat near Madhyamgram in North 24-Parganas, but there has not been one body available for this purpose.
Local residents as well as people from the outside area have been going to Kolkata, even to Basirhat, to cremate bodies.
