The management committee at the Parvati ghat in Jugsalai is set to install an additional furnace operated by gas to cremate bodies soon.
A representative from an Ahmedabad-based agency, which specializes in manufacturing gas-operated furnaces, visited Parvati ghat for site inspection on Tuesday.
There are two electric furnaces at the crematorium but one is presently non-operational due to some technical glitches.
Ghat managing committee general secretary Dipendra Bhatt confirmed the same.
“Electric furnaces at our disposal often break down due to some technical reason or the other. One of the furnaces has already broken down which is putting extra load on one which is functioning. Gas-operated furnaces break down very occasionally,” he said.
“Over 40 Covid bodies are coming for cremation daily. It was 46 on Tuesday while 53 bodies were cremated a day before (Monday). It is obvious for the furnaces to stop functioning,” he said.
The ghat management committee is spending sleepless nights as Covid bodies are coming one after another. “We spend day and night at the crematorium to complete the formalities. The situation was not like this last year in Covid times,” Rao said.
He pointed out that the furnaces would again stop functioning after necessary repairs. “We are finding ourselves at wits end in finding a solution since the volume of Covid bodies is increasing almost every day,” the ghat joint secretary added.

The steel city’s burning ghats are witnessing a manifold increase in bodies arriving for cremations in the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Over 40 bodies are being cremated at Subarnarekha Ghat in Bhuiyandih and Parvati Ghat in Jugsalai respectively.
In pre-Covid times, 10-12 bodies came for cremation daily at Subarnarekha ghat while the figure was 8-10 daily at Parvati ghat.
The increased number of cremations at both the crematoriums has put pressure on the management committee of these facilities. Moreover, people coming for the last rites have to wait for long to complete the formalities.
