Residents of Mummigatti village located on the outskirts of Dharwad have taken exception to the move to shift the existing graveyard in the village and urged the district administration to allow them to continue to use it.
The residents of the village led by gram panchayat members met the Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad on Tuesday and urged him to revoke the decision to shift the graveyard.
Apprising the Deputy Commissioner of the issue, they said that six acres earmarked for the graveyard on Survey No 4 in the village was allotted several decades ago. However, now a man claiming to be the owner of the land had objected to it following which the district administration had passed an order on shifting the graveyard from Survey No 4 to Survey No 55, they said.
The restoration and redevelopment of the decades-old Calve College Government school, a landmark that occupies a prominent place in the city’s history is nearing completion. The Puducherry Smart City Development Limited (PSCDL), which has taken up the restoration, has planned to complete the work by the first week of July. The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) is the architectural consultant for PSCDL, while Puducherry Technological University (PTU) is the structural consultant. The work commenced in August 2021 and costs ₹4.75 crore.
