The Belagavi City Corporation has floated tenders in order to prepare an estimate for improvements to the crematorium at Sadashiv Nagar which include altering the existing diesel crematorium to a gas crematorium.
The Electrical Crematorium at Sadashiv Nagar Cremation Ground, Belagavi is closed since 1998 due to seepage of water was then converted into a diesel one in April 2020.
But after a few months the same was not put to use due to some issues and now the city corporation plans to convert the same into a gas-based Crematorium.
Currently, wood is only used in the crematorium.
