A Hindu family in Undi village, West Godavari district, was forced to conduct a cremation on the road after their crematorium became a dumping yard.
The deceased, Penki Ganesh, passed away due to ill health, and his family discovered the crematorium overrun with rubbish, rendering it unusable.
There are reportedly three designated areas for final rites in the village, but the Hindu crematorium is neglected compared to others.
Residents expressed frustration, noting that local panchayath officials failed to address their concerns regarding the situation.
Officer Naseerullah confirmed only two operational crematoriums for Hindus and Christians, despite conflicting reports from locals about the facilities.
