💨 Abstract

The Maharashtra government has mandated urban local bodies to create designated areas for pet cremations near solid waste management centers. The areas should have protective walls, security, and no foul odors. Urban bodies can charge a fee for this service and are prohibited from disposing of dead pets elsewhere. The initiative follows a concern raised by Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik in the state assembly in July 2023.
