Residents of Navi Peth have filed a public interest litigation (
PIL) with
Bombay High Court against the health hazards connected to the toxic emissions from the 60-year-old Vaikunth crematorium, located at the heart of the city.
The
petitioners who stay in housing societies near the crematorium alleged that its unscientific management and cremations of nearly 100 bodies in a day, despite a capacity for just 20, are increasing respiratory problems for nearby residents, and the
Pune Municipal Corporation (
PMC) is doing nothing.
