    I have said this before. PLEASE IMPROVE THE STANDARD OF ENGLISH IN STAR OF MYSORE.
    This sentence in 3rd paragraph made me cringe – “when a ‘good number of people died’, following which a proposal was sent to the MCC for the setting up of electric crematorium.”
    “good number of people died”! How can people dying be good?
