Nagpur: For the first time, Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) undertook thorough cleanliness of crematoriums in Nagpur as part of its ongoing drive to promote cleanliness in public spaces as part of Diwali festival.
Normally no one bothers to even think of ghats, and that from a cleanliness point of view. But civic body bosses were of the view that since a large number of citizens visit the crematoriums, a special drive is needed to enhance the looks and ensure that people do not view the place as shoddy.
