Kalyan family unable to find burial ground for woman, 60, as two cemeteries turn them away

Waseemunnisa Qazi, 60, a resident of the Mohane area of Kalyan West, has died, but her family has been unable to find a place to bury her. The family says it has had to go from one cemetery to another.

After her death, relatives first went to the cemetery at Shahad for the burial. The family alleges that they were refused there, which left them in great difficulty.

Relatives then decided to go to the Tekdi cemetery in Kalyan West. It is alleged that burial was refused there too, on the ground that the bodies of people from outside are not buried. Despite going from one cemetery to another, the family could not find a place for the burial.

The body is kept at home and no burial site has been found, leaving the family helpless. Relatives are angry that they have had to search like this for a burial after a death. The case has also raised questions about the space available in the city's cemeteries and the rules on burying people from outside.

There is now a demand that the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation administration and the officials concerned look into this serious matter at once. The family hopes the administration will give the necessary help so that the deceased woman can be buried with dignity. A relative, Fazaluddin Qazi, has spoken on the matter.

All eyes are on what stand the municipal corporation takes after taking note of the case, and whether the family receives help with the burial.
