A family in Jagatua village, Budaun district, faced adversity during a funeral as torrential rains threatened to extinguish the pyre due to inadequate infrastructure at the local cremation ground.

With basic provisions lacking, villagers hastily erected tarpaulin sheets to protect the pyre, shedding light on a broader issue of infrastructural neglect.
