A controversy over the cost of cremations at the Caroni Cremation Site (CCS) is now brewing between Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation (TPRC) chairman Josiah Austin and the spiritual head of the Satya Anand Ashram, Pundit Satyanand Maharaj.
Maharaj is claiming that bereaved Hindus are being made to pay more for open-air pyre cremations at the CCS by the People’s National Movement-controlled corporation.
Austin, however, refuted the religious leader’s “alleged discrimination,” stating that the corporation has been serving all religious backgrounds equitably and respectfully.
