The Capital Development Authority (CDA) will induct two more vehicles for improving its graveyard services, Parliamentary Secretary Khurram Jehangir Wattoo told National Assembly. Responding a point of order he said, the existing 4 vehicles of graveyard services would also be repaired within a two month period. A total of seven graveyards are working in the federal capital including two graveyards for Christians, one each for Bahai, Kadyani and other communities. The first graveyard of 50 acre was established in the federal capital in year 1964. A new graveyard having the capacity of 118 acres is being established in sector H-11/3. The graveyard will be sufficient to cater to the needs of next 20 years. Replying to another question he said, CDA bears the expenditures of burying of the dead and charging no money from anybody. The CDA also buries from 15 to 20 unclaimed dead bodies of addicted and children every month, he said.
