A civic body in Odisha has drawn flak for operating a crematorium in which bodies of only Brahmins are cremated.
The 155-year-old Kendrapara Municipality, the oldest civic body in the eastern State, has even put up a 'Brahmin crematorium' signage at the entrance of the burning ghat at Hazaribagicha locality in the town.
Local sources said that although the crematorium was being used for performing the last rites of Brahmins for a long time, the official signage was recently put up after the renovation of the facility with the government grants.
