From a Survey Map

The Nishatganj Cemetery, Lucknow (Established in the latter half of the 19th Century)

There are encroachments against its west wall and in part along the northern wall. A major portion of the northern wall has blocks tenement blocks built by the Lucknow Development Authority from where garbage is thrown into the cemetery. Since garbage disposal is a major problem in Lucknow and so-called leaders within the Christian are too self-centred or weak-kneed to take up the issue the problem is getting worse. One needs to educate the people on the feelings of others' sentiments etc.
Just for the record: Lucknow at one time had a paper mill established south of the cemetery by the side of the River Gomti with a metre-gauge railway track (the black line on the map)  used for supply of raw material. The mill with its tall silvery chimney has long disappeared and the track which lies buried is the pathway between the encroachments (homes) against the west wall of the the cemetery and shops on the left along the main road. I was told a long time ago that there were graves where the shop are today. I never saw then and never will, I sure! Why would there be graves outside the cemetery. There are two possibilities: That the burials took place before the area for the cemetery was finalized or perhaps they were suicides in keeping with the church doctrine of using unconsecrated ground for 'sinners'. 
This information was given me by Late Donald David, nephew of Barney David, who was a member of La Martiniere College office staff. Donald's father had an arms and ammunition shop in Hazratganj before 1947. Though Donald had a massive store of knowledge on Lucknow's history and cemeteries, sadly, there is no resting place for him. I heard about his death much later. He wasn't buried in a Christian cemetery.
