ITANAGAR, Mar 14: Governor PB Acharya visited the lone cremation ground for Itanagar Capital Complex, at Karsingsa, 27 km from the state capital on Tuesday.

Interacting with the local MLA cum Parliamentary Secretary Techi Kaso along with members of Itanagar Municipal Council, the Governor said that it is high time there must be a collective humane approach in building the very important public asset.

Referring to an instance of the demise of a gardener of Raj Bhavan, Itanagar recently, the Governor said that people come to the State and render their valuable service to the State. But after their demise, unfortunately their mortal remains are taken to neighbouring State for cremation, covering long distance and incurring huge amount of money, time and energy to the next of kin during their hour of grief.

The Governor advised that there must be a comprehensive and holistic provision for observing the last rites. For this, a proper environment in all respect must be created in and around the cremation area, he opined.

While giving his observation on the proposed area, the Governor suggested that different zones may be earmarked for different communities so that communal belief and practices are respected.  

Chief Councilor of Itanagar Municipal Council Kipa Kaku, Deputy Chief Councilor Tarh Nachung and Chief Municipal Executive Officer, Habung Lampung were present on the occasion amongst others.
