The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) is planning to set up an animal crematorium and incinerator at the Nandigudda Crematorium, aimed at ensuring environmentally safe disposal of deceased animals.


This proposal, submitted by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services, involves dedicating land specifically for this purpose. Mayor Sudheer Shetty Kannur has instructed the council to allocate land and install an incinerator for animal carcasses. The proposal is under review by the council's standing committee, with funds to be incorporated into the upcoming budget.


According to Corporator of Attavar Ward, Shailesh B Shetty, approximately 20 cents of land will initially be dedicated to the crematorium, addressing a long-standing demand from animal lovers and pet owners in the region.


MCC Council Chief Whip, Premanand Shetty, confirmed that the proposal has been forwarded for further discussion, with a survey conducted to ensure the animal crematorium is placed away from the human crematorium.


Kateel Dinesh Pai, a member of the District Prani Daya Sangha, noted that the Animal Welfare Board of India has requested urban local bodies (ULBs) to establish animal crematoriums, highlighting that the initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the community and environment.
