In the village of Pipliya Khurd, located in the Begamganj tehsil of Raisen district, the lack of a cremation ground has been a long-standing issue. Recently, the villagers were forced to hold the funeral of a 75-year-old woman, Kashi Bai, under a tarpaulin due to heavy rainfall. The incident has highlighted the need for basic amenities in the village. The villagers have been demanding the construction of a cremation ground, a shed, and a paved road. The absence of these facilities has made life difficult for the residents, especially during the monsoon season.
