‘Letter written to L-G and Chief Minister earlier this month’
In what’s claimed to be a first, the Delhi Gate cemetery on Monday said it has started diverting bodies to other cemeteries in Delhi as it is about to run out of space.
Mohammed Shamim, a third-generation grave-digger of Jadid Qabristan Ahle Islam, said that on Sunday and Monday, he has asked people to take bodies to cemeteries in Yamuna Khadar, Mangolpuri, and Shastri Park.
