Though the Delhi Government's experiment to run public transport on compressed natural gas (CNG) in the Capital might have been successful, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi is yet to fulfil its promise of constructing cost-effective CNG-run crematoria across the city. The civic body had formulated an ambitious project to construct six CNG-run crematoria in two phases. While phase-I is already delayed by more than six months, it has scrapped phase-II of the project. In phase-I, the crematoria were planned at Nigambodh Ghat, Bela Road and Punjabi Bagh, while in phase-II these facilities were to come up at Rohini, Green Park and Sarai Kale Khan. So far, a of total Rs.4.81 crores sanctioned for phase-I, Rs.2.72 crores have already been spent, but the project is far from being complete. It is only at Nigambodh Ghat, where the construction work is still on, a CNG-run crematorium is being operated on trial basis.
