Bury cremated remains, don't immerse them in Ganga: Minister
In an attempt to preserve the "purity of Ganga", Union Minister Satya Pal Singh has urged Hindus to not immerse cremated remains in the river. Stating that beliefs need to be revisited, Singh asked people to bury ashes and plant a sapling on the site to honour the deceased's memory. He requested priests to spread awareness about his suggestions.
