LAHORE: Punjab Senior Minister Abdul Aleem Khan has directed allocation of more government land in different cities of the province for graveyards.
According to a handout, the senior minister while chairing a meeting of Shehr-e-Khamoshan Authority said such authorities were set up to extend cooperation to the needy people and there should be no red-tapism or corrupt practices while facilitating the people.
He said the real issue was the space for graves, for which, steps would be taken in most of the cities of Punjab shortly. He said it was the issue in most of the big cities, even in some small cities too.
The senior minister was informed that around 500 dead bodies had been buried so far in Kahna Graveyard, Lahore.
