| British soldier's death anniversary observed | | People object to dumping of mulba inside cemetery | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 22: Observing a British soldier's death anniversary, people have objected to the dumping of mulba inside the Sheikh Bagh cemetery near here.
A function held here Tuesday in connection with the death anniversary of Robert Thorpe, a British soldier, who was buried at the Sheikh Bagh cemetery in 1868.
When some people visited there, they found heaps of garbage in a corner of the compound wall, which is close to a security picket, guarding an MLA's house.
Official sources said when the visitors asked the person responsible for the cemetery's maintenance who had thrown the garbage, he signalled at a neighbour. He alleged that the neighbours had also developed the habit of trespassing into the graveyard by scaling the boundary wall.
A concern was also raised over the alleged flow of sewage into the cemetery from the nearby private establishments.
The civil society members had assembled inside the cemetery to commemorate the death anniversary of British soldier who died on November 22, 1868, during his vacations in Kashmir.
Historians say his mother Jaana was from Kashmir and he was on a visit to his mother's homeland when he suddenly died. |
