MANSEHRA: The residents of the city and its suburbs on Sunday demanded the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati to ensure the early acquisition of land for graveyard.
“The burial spaces in the existing cemeteries are already full, and locals are facing difficulties in burying their loved ones. However, Rs 200 million allocated for land acquisition has remained unutilised since 2017,” Mohammad Ayub, a local resident, told reporters.
The residents of Channia, Dub, Lohar Banda, Nogazi, Janderbanda, Mohallah Ayub Khan, and adjoining localities have been struggling with a shortage of burial space.Ayub said that the district administration has had Rs 200 million in its account for graveyard land acquisition since 2017, yet the funds remain unutilised.“Babar Saleem Swati should ensure that the district administration uses that money to acquire land for the graveyard,” he added.
