Lucknow: Citizens will soon get some relief from waiting hours to perform last rites of their loved ones as Lucknow Municipal Corporation has installed the two machines at city’s first ‘Greenatoriums’ located in Baikunth Dham at Bandha Road.
According to LMC officials,  the greenatorium is the option for people to go for traditional way of performing last rites for their loved ones without damaging the air quality of the city as it will  consist characteristics of both electronic and traditional way of funeral.
Explaining its functioning , LMC officials said that the machine will have a cascade where the body will be kept along with wood and pyre. After performing last rituals, the pyre will be lit up and the chamber will be closed for burning the body.

To stop toxic gas emitted by burning of body for getting contaminated with atmosphere,  the gas will be mixed with water to be turned into vapor before getting released to air through a chimney.  Greenatorium will only take 150 kg of wood for performing a funeral as compared to traditional way funeral which requires around 350 kg of wood. Greenatorium will cost around Rs 300- Rs 500 as compared to the traditional way of wooden pyre which costs over Rs 4,000.

The project was initiated by City mayor Sanyukta Bhatia last year in May. She said, “Greenatoriums will provide people to go for traditional funeral without damaging the air quality. Lucknow will become the first city in UP to have green crematoriums. The services of the crematorium will start very soon.”

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
