An incinerator became operational from Wednesday at the premises of Subernarekha burning ghaat in Bhuiyadhih.
A first of its kind in the state, the incinerator has been installed for disposing of the paraphernalia used for cremation rituals at the burning ghaat.
Constructed under the aegis of the civic body Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee, at a cost of Rs 15lakh from the MLA fund, it was inaugurated by Jamshedpur East legislator Sarayu Roy on Wednesday.
"Environment in and around the Subernarekha burning ghaat and the adjoining Subernarekha river will be free from the paraphernalia that is brought along a body. Similar incinerators should be set up in other burning ghaats too," said Roy.
