St Andre MLA Viresh Borkar inaugurated the work to renovate the Hindu crematorium at Dongrim-Mandur at a cost of Rs 79 lakh.

The renovation includes the upgradation of existing infrastructure, including cremation platforms, waiting areas, and sanitation facilities.

Addressing the gathering, MLA Borkar said it was a long-pending demand of the locals from the Azossim-Mandur panchayat areas for the renovation of the crematorium.

Borkar stated that once renovated, the crematorium would provide a dignified farewell and a respectful environment for families during their time of grief.

When questioned, Borkar said that though a time-frame could not be given, it should be completed in three to six months’ time.

Azossim-Mandur Sarpanch Prashant Naik, panchas Francisco Po, Nandesh Mayekar and Premanand Kuttikar, Shree Shasti Shantadurga Temple committee members, villagers, PWD officials, locals and others were present on the occasion.
