The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has decided to make budgetary provision for a compressed natural gas (CNG) crematorium in its pet cemetery located in Nehrunagar, Pimpri.

PCMC veterinary department head, Dr Satish Gore, told DNA on Tuesday, “We are planning a CNG crematorium as it is cheaper than LPG. The expenditure for the project is around Rs25 lakh. A proposal will be tabled in the standing committee.’’

According to civic officials, it will not only speed up the disposal of animal carcasses, but also save space.

At present, the cemetery is nearly full. Over the last three years, it has witnessed as many as 1,080 burials at the rate of approximately one animal per day.

Gore added that the new CNG crematorium will  dispose of the body in three to four hours and will also
save space.
