I visited the Bandariabagh (Sadar Cemetery) for a funeral on June 22, 2010. Walking around I saw the pitiable condition of the graves. I was surprised to find that some graves were being renovated. On enquiry I was told that funds had been received from abroad. That made sense! I also noticed that many headstones seemed to have been deliberately uprooted. Then I thought more work will require more money. Some of the graves are being reconstructed without the original headstones which are being replaced with metal plates for the names. The question is whose name will be on whose grave?
I took a few pics of the scene. One grave whose stone had fallen off revealing the bricks below interested me because of the shoddy work, a mixture of modern bricks with lakhauri bricks between, unusual for those days.
