The Palam Khap 360, which is leading the rally, said their march reached the Hauz Khas village on Friday where the locals alleged that their cremation ground was not functioning.

"People told us that land authority had restricted access due to unknown reasons for the past two years," Surendra Solanki, Palam Khap chief said. However, when the villagers along with the Khap chief visited the place, it was opened.
