Mohali mayor dedicates two new funeral vans, announces Rs 50 lakh for cremation ground upgrade

Sidhu said that an electric cremation machine platform is under construction and new sheds will soon be added to provide comfort to grieving families. “Nearly Rs 50 lakh will be spent on these works, which will begin shortly,” he added.

Call for a second cremation ground

Highlighting Mohali’s rapid population growth, the mayor said the existing facility is under pressure. “At times, families have to wait for hours for a cremation slot. A new cremation ground in the city is essential,” he said, urging the Punjab government and GMADA to allot land to the Municipal Corporation for this purpose.

Residents’ convenience top priority

“The comfort and dignity of Mohali residents remain my top priority. All issues related to the cremation ground will be addressed on a priority basis,” Sidhu said.

With these new initiatives, the civic body aims to provide a modern, dignified, and efficient cremation facility to meet the needs of the city’s expanding population.
