Pet Crematorium In Mira-Bhayandar
In October, the state’s first dedicated pet crematorium was inaugurated at Mira-Bhayandar's Navghar. The Navghar pet crematorium features a fully gas-based cremation system, utilising natural gas and propane (LPG). This eco-friendly facility ensures minimal environmental impact by converting remains into basic chemical compounds like gases and ash, avoiding the pollution caused by traditional wood-based cremation.
Two such pet crematoriums have been established in Mira-Bhayander—at Navghar and Kashimira. While the Navghar facility has been inaugurated, the Kashimira crematorium is set to be operational soon, as announced by Minister Sarnaik.
