K'gama cemetery : where people fear to tread
Kataragama Gr. Cor.
Several new guest houses and modern buildings have come up in
Kataragama to cater to the massive influx of pilgrims, no one in
authority seems to be concerned of the cemetery which is going to ruin
day by day. The final resting place is not maintained properly by the
authorities, which overgrown with weeds.
Too many tombs stones leave hardly any room to bury the recent dead.
The parapet wall has collapsed at several places and the cemetery has
become a paradise for stray cattle. To crown it all the cemetery does
not have a gate. The residents have appealed to the Kataragama
Pradeshiya Sabha to do the needful. Text and
