Villagers said that such difficulties recur every year during the monsoon, as the crematorium lacks a permanent shed, platform or seating arrangement despite repeated requests to the authorities.

Locals added that the absence of basic cremation infrastructure reflects administrative negligence.

Residents have demanded that the administration and elected representatives construct a permanent shed at the crematorium at the earliest, along with rain protection and seating arrangements, to ensure no family is compelled to perform last rites under such circumstances in the future.
