The civic body has issued a notice saying that no dead body will be cremated unless the aadhaar card of the deceased is provided. 

The notice was seen outside on a board outside a cremation ground in Faridabad’s Neharpar Mawai road, reported Mirror Now. 

The city mayor, however, denied the issue of any such notice. He further added that the that concerned authorities have been asked to look into the issue. The board has now been removed from the cremation ground.
