A dispute has erupted over a government grant for a cremation ground in Jalandhar, prompting a local councillor to seek clarification.
The municipal authorities in Jalandhar have allocated a grant for the development of a local cremation ground. The financial assistance, intended to improve facilities at the site, has sparked a heated debate among elected representatives.
A councillor raised concerns during a council session, questioning the criteria used to approve the grant and demanding greater transparency in the allocation process.
