West Bengal: Muslim neighbours help Hindu family carry body to crematorium

Tehatta: A Hindu family at a remote village in West Bengal's Nadia district had no money to take the body of their father to the crematorium for the last rites but their Muslim neighbours came to their help.

Akali Sardar (80) of Palashipara Dhawapara village near Tehatta in Nadia district had died yesterday. His family had no money to take the body to the burning ghat about 26 km away.

Khakon, son of Akali said, "We had no money to take our father's body to the burning ghat. But our Muslim neighbours helped us to take the body to burning ghat at Kaliganj Ramnagar in Nadia, about 26 km away."

Shanti, wife to Akali also expressed her gratitude to her Muslim neighbours. She said, "our Muslim neighbours rescued us from our problem. We will never forget the help."

Hearing the matter, the Block Development Officer (BDO) of Tehatta 2, Abhijit Chowdhury, congratulated the villagers for helping the family of Akali Sardar.

The BDO said, "The Muslims of the area have established an instance of communal harmony."
