No space will be left for Muslim burials after one year: Delhi Minority Commission
There will be no space left for Muslim burials in the national Capital after a year, a Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) report said, seeking remedial measures like allocation of land and provision of temporary graves. The report was released by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. As per records, there are 704 Muslim graveyards in various parts of Delhi, out of which only 131 are functional. Of the functioning 131 graveyards, 16 are not operational due to litigation while 43 others are encroached upon by different entities, the report said. Most graveyards in the city are small, measuring 10 bighas or less and 46 percent of them measure five bighas or less.
