Supreme Court Seeks Amicable Settlement in Isha Foundation Crematorium Dispute

The Supreme Court urged Isha Foundation and Coimbatore residents to seek an amicable resolution over a crematorium dispute near the foundation's yoga center. The court acknowledged Isha Foundation's work as pious and suggested compensation and alternative land for affected residents. The dispute involves local rules on crematorium proximity to residential areas, with residents citing health and cultural concerns. A former Madras High Court judge was appointed mediator, and the case is scheduled for further hearing in April.
