As all the bodies could not be accommodated at the Arya and Rajrajeshwori cremation sites, the rest were cremated at the banks of the Bagmati River. The bodies are being transported to Pashupatinath since Saturday evening. The Pashupati area has a total of 12 permanent ghats including one meant for a VIP or VVIP. On any given normal day the Pashupati cremation site witnesses cremation of around 20 to 30 bodies while the PADT is struggling to cope with the increasing number of bodies coming for cremation with failure to provide enough Bhramans (priests) for final ritualistic performance. The Trust will not charge fee for cremating the bodies of the victims of the earthquake. RSS Meanwhile, the Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT) is finding it difficult to construct the temporary cremation podiums and supply necessary materials needed for the final ritual.
