Right to dignified death, cremation fundamental right, says Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court has declared the right to a dignified death and cremation a fundamental right under Article 21. This ruling followed a Chief Justice's visit to a "pathetic" Bilaspur cremation ground. The court mandated the State to provide decent facilities, issuing an 11-point directive for immediate improvements like sanitation, lighting, and functional crematoria, demanding affidavits from top officials.
