A living community is judged by the way he is death.
With this spirit that the Al Shams Mosque, Madrasah and the Trust of the Orphanage, who also managed Sunni Muslim Kabrashan, Mira Road had taken a unique step to “elevate” the grave.
When you enter the main gate of the grave opposite the joggers park, and walk down the new paved lane, a four-meter-high cement perimeter wall welcomes you.
Many sand fills the area inside the wall, lending the height seen from the distance.
When you compare graves that have appeared on the plot elevated with those on the surface that have not been elevated, the difference is extraordinary.
“Many Canporators create selfie points.
I use a portion of the regional development funds to lift this grave,” said the Corporator Ashraf Shaikh who claimed “This is a high grave in this country.” The claim has not been independently verified.
So why does the funeral need ‘elevation’? When a pandemic hit and the number of victims of covid-19 spikes, graves and crematoriums felt pressure.
On average, this kabrastan will get 15 to 20 bodies every day.
It ran less than empty space and the grave was created by digging the land that had previously put the body.
Such excavations vomit the remains of the body, including bones.
Someone made the video a viral.
The former Corporator and former MLC Muzaffar Hussain said he was disturbed by the video.
Because he also headed the trust that managed the Big and air-conditioned Al Shams Mosque and Sunni Muslim Kabrastan, he said, he felt butbound to do something about it.
Even though the land for another grave in Mira-Bhayandar was approved, it had not worked.
At a meeting with senior police and civil officers, including Police Commissioner Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar Sadanand Date and Commissioner of Dhole’s Dilip City, was decided that the grave would be elevated.
“It’s a date that suggests that we lift the grave so that the problem of water seeping and tripping in old graves can be resolved.
Nearly 50% of the grave has increased,” Hussain said.
How does the elevation help solve problems? A normal grave five to six feet in and altitude made it convenient to dig a depth grave like that without fear of finding water or touching old graves.
As part of the rules, no one is permitted to create a permanent grave because old graves will definitely be replaced by the new one day.
Interestingly, when the development plan for 20 hectares of land provided here was passed in 1997-1998, told Hussain, he ensured that all the Hindu communities, Christians and various Muslim sects had their separate funerals, all of which led under the lumps .
.
“This sends a good message about communal harmony ever called senior journalists ‘live together, dying together’,” Hussain said.
Until 2016, Hussain retained all funerals and jogging parks.
Now, while the authority of citizenship takes care of the park and other graves, Sunni Muslim Kabrastan is managed by Jama Mosque Al Shams Trust.
In the pipe in a grave that is exacerbated is a grave numbering.
Even if the grave drops under a fresh grave, the number will tell the life, the exact location of their last rest place.
