NGO comes to aid of needy, performs free cremation | May 20, 2021, 04:19 IST
Ludhiana: Cash-starved families of the district that have lost their loved ones can now seek help of Shri Sanatan Dharam Sabha, which runs Shivpuri crematorium near Kamla Lohtia College.
The members of the institution have decided that they will not charge even a single penny from the families that are financially unsound for the cremation of their lost ones. The decision has been taken considering the ongoing situation in which many have lost their bread and butter to multiple lockdowns imposed to curb the spread of the deadly virus
LUDHIANA: Now, volunteers of the NSS and NCC from city colleges will help the civic body in making people aware through a special camp on not throwing solid waste into the Buddha Nullah. The camp is going to start in the next few days and will continue for 15 days.
For getting suggestions from colleges, a meeting was called at the MC office on Wednesday, where Swachh Bharat Mission director Puran Singh and MC commissioner Pardeep Sabharwal shared the plan. The idea is to approach people through door-to-door campaign, so that they could be motivated for not polluting the drain with solid waste.
