Issue of graveyard  

Letter April 22, 2019
They should at least provide us a suitable alternative

KARACHI: The Chawkandi Graveyard has been used by the residents of Abdullah Goth of Bin Qasim town for burials since the 15th century, as per the Islamic tradition. However, we are now forced to seek alternative places to bury our dead as the authorities are not allowing us to use the graveyard, though it belongs to our people for centuries. I request the Sindh government to look into the matter. They should at least provide us a suitable alternative.
