Kathmandu, July 4
Everest Bank has installed energy
efficient and eco-friendly cremation system at Shantighat, Pokhara. The machine
has heat recovery system and reflector to utilize waste heat and minimize
cremation duration.
"This will save more than 250
kg of wood per cremation which will control the deforestation. The system helps
control pollution as the smoke is passed through wet scrubber to remove
hazardous air pollutants and toxins before releasing to atmosphere," said
the bank.
It also said that the band had always been conscious of its
social responsibilities and as a part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
activities, had been organizing various programs for the benefit of the people
at large.
The machine was handed over to Mayor Pokhara
Metropolis, Man Bahadur Gurung in the presence of Chief Minister of Gandaki
province Prithivi Subha Gurung.
Dr. Bal Gopal Badhya, Director and CSR Committee
Chairperson of the bank, Dr. Ganesh Gurung, EBL CSR Committee Member and Rajeev
Jain, Deputy General Manager of the bank handed over the facility to the
metropolis.
