UMERKOTE: Family members of a 32-year-old girl, who died on Friday, blocked the State Highway-39 after they have been denied to bury her on the native cemetery. Communication was disrupted on the street for about 4 hours.
The deceased Pushpanjali Bagh, a resident of Dongri avenue in Nabarangpur city, had not too long ago transformed to Christianity and didn’t have her title registered within the JELC church. Family members alleged that the native Christians didn’t permit the burial of those that didn’t register themselves on the church.
The scenario reportedly worsened when Bagh’s relations weren’t allowed to cremate her at one other cemetery meant for the Hindus. The relations tried sorting the matter with the Umerkote tehsil workplace however since none got here to their rescue, they blocked the Umerkote-Raipur street. Nabarangpur Christians Minority secretary Gourab Kaunri knowledgeable that there was no cemetery for transformed Christians. The drawback can be solved if a separate cemetery particularly for the transformed lot was made on authorities land, he added.
“A land was allotted on the day to the converted Christians for cremation purpose following which the agitators cleared the road,” stated Umerkote tehsildar G Jagmohan Choudhury.
