Army, locals clash over graveyard
The Army and the Muslim community are at loggerheads over a graveyard near Langer Houz crossroads.
But the Army has banned further burials, saying that the graveyard was getting extended encroaching upon its land.
"With no other burial ground in the proximity, where would we bury the dead," argued Mohammed Dastagir, a resident. The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) took the matter to chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy���s notice.
"The military officials first prevented us from building a community hall and then did not allow us to lay a cement concrete road in Quli Qutub Shah Nagar. Now civilians are being prevented from using the graveyard," Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi said.
Owaisi along with MLAs met the chief minister on Wednesday and sought his intervention to end the problem. On Tuesday, when Army personnel stopped the burial of a body, the locals staged a dharna on the road and blocked traffic for half an hour.
Similarly, last week civilians and Army personnel almost came to blows over a similar dispute. The military officials last year had reduced the Idgah Panchkhana at M D Lines by 50 per cent forcing the gathering on festival days to offer namaz on the main road. Quarters for military officials have been built on the land of the 50-year-old idgah, it
is alleged.
