It is unfortunate that MCD and DDA became party to distinguish between persons according to their status even after their deaths by developing a block of three semi-VIP pyres distinguishing the block from other pyre-blocks.
IT REFERS to the welcome verdict of Central Information Commission (CIC) directing Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to transfer Right To Information petition to Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to respond to query relating to development of three new semi-VIP pyres at Delhi’s most popular cremation-ground at Nigambodh Ghat.
It is unfortunate that MCD and DDA became party to distinguish between persons according to their status even after their deaths by developing a block of three semi-VIP pyres distinguishing the block from other pyre-blocks by simply surrounding semi-VIP pyre-block by iron-railings. Concerned authorities should immediately remove iron-railings to abolish any distinction between ordinary and semi-VIP pyres.
The only raised VIP-platform should not be allowed for cremation except for defined categories of personalities, with no deviation or exception allowed in any case. Idea should be to put all persons at par at least after deaths for aspects like cremation.
