In Bhopal, central India, families are turning grief into green action. The Bhadbhada Crematorium has transformed uncollected ashes from COVID-19 victims into a living memorial: a park where trees grow from the remains of loved ones. 🌍
CGTN's reporter spoke with two families planting saplings at the site. \"We lost them during the second wave, but this gives us a way to remember them every day,\" one shared. The initiative also tackles environmental concerns—by diverting ashes from rivers, it helps prevent water pollution. 🌊
The project merges cultural remembrance with eco-consciousness, turning tragedy into sustainable hope. As one participant put it: \"Now, when these trees bloom, it feels like they're still here.\" 🌸
