<p>Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], Aug 1 (ANI): In order to stop cutting of trees, the municipal corporation in Raipur has introduced 'eco-friendly' logs made out of cow dung for funerals.</p><p>"We will provide these logs free of cost. We make this with help of a machine, which produces logs sufficient for four funerals daily," Rajkumar Sahu, President of the organisation which produces the logs told ANI.</p><p>Mayor of Raipur, Pramod Dubey said this will put a brake to the cutting of trees in the state.</p><p>"To obtain wood for funeral, large number of trees are cut. This damages the environment and produces a lot of smoke. That's why we opted for this eco-friendly method. This will also generate employment. The logs will be provided to all cemeteries," Dubey told ANI.</p><p>Dubey added that there are 20 big funeral places in Raipur, which will benefit from these special logs made from cow dung.
