Mohali, February 2
A cremation ground of Sohana village in Sector 77 has become a bone of contention between the villagers and allottee of the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) plots. Reason, the authority will physically get the site verified carved out over a dozen plots on the cremation ground.
On the other hand, the inhabitants of Sohana village continue to cremate their near and dear ones in the open crematorium. “The land on which the bodies are cremated has since long been acquired by GMADA. But the villagers refuse to listen”, said an aggrieved resident of the area.
The instances of bodies being cremated at the site have reduced over the years, but the site of a burning body still scares the allotee (who have started construction on their plots adjoining the ground).
Jaspal Singh, one of the allottee of 14-marla house, said, “ We have been allotted plots on the cremation ground. Now, GMADA officials are asking us to start construction at the site or pay extension fee”. Most of the allottee who have been allotted plots three years ago are now being asked to pay extension fee. An appeal made to the Additional Chief Administrator to provide an alternative site has fallen on deaf ears as the authority feels that no cremation ground is being run at the site.
