Watchman exchanges asthi8217;

The watchman apparently had put into the dustbin the asthi of the Patel, thinking that relatives would not come for collection. When the relatives turned up, the visibly upset watchman showed him somebody else8217;s asthi. Later when the Sindhis came to know about it they got wild and almost ended up fighting with the Patels, Shrivastav said. Sources said the Sindhis got the asthi of the Patel. The two groups which came to the corporation office were pacified by Medical Officer Health Dr Shireesh Patel and Deputy Mayor Ajit Patel.

Deputy Municipal Commissioner Administration H S Patel said that people should also inform the days the persons on duty at the crematoria about when they would come to collect the remains. He, however, said that more care would be taken to ensure that such instances are not repeated. 8220;After all it is a question of sentiments,8221; he stated.
