Kuwait turns down India's request for temple and crematorium

Kuwait has turned down a request by the Indian Embassy for granting a suitable place for setting up an Indian temple and an electrical crematorium for the Indian community.

The request was made for the benefit of the large number of Indian Hindu community in Kuwait.

In response to a note from the Indian Embassy on 4 June, 2017, requesting the space, Kuwait Foreign Ministry’s Asia Affairs Department, through its letter dated 6 July, 2017, said it regretted not being able to comply with the request as it was found to be incompatible with the laws of the State of Kuwait.
