"The smoke and fume from the crematoriums add to the pollution of the city. Since it is situated in the middle of the city the bad odour from the crematoriums is making the citizen sick and nauseating," the statement said.

In the letter, Chowdhury further said that the cremation has been discontinued, as a result of which people of Murshidabad are facing a very acute problem. They have to take the dead bodies to another city for cremation instead of Berhampur.
