    Shiv Sena strategists have urged party chief Uddhav Thackeray not to compromise on seat-sharing, saying BJP has more at stake over a possible alliance.

    Religion

    Mumbai church encourages burials without coffins

    In the wake of decreasing space for coffins, the Archdiocese of Bombay has spoken out for shroud burials.

    The Catholic Communication Centre has released and is promoting a video on the advantages of shroud burials.

    "Being buried in a coffin is a Western concept. Shroud burials are eco-friendly, provide an alternative option to non-degradable wooden coffins, and take up less space," said Father Barrett.
