A public interest litigation (PIL) petition was filed in the Bombay High Court on Tuesday seeking directions to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and the Pune Municipal Commissioner to plan a comprehensive programme for prevention, control or abatement of air pollution in and around crematoriums.
The plea was filed by Vikrant Latkar, a retired civil engineer, through advocate Ajinkya Udane. The PIL said, “The Vaikuntha crematorium near S.M. Joshi hall, Navi Peth, Pune, does not have the capacity to handle 80-100 bodies which are currently being cremated there due to COVID-19. This creates a huge amount of toxic and thick smoke as the crematorium is full and there is a load on it.”
