Mandamarri Graveyard: In a shocking incident, real estate developers in Telangana's Mandamarri have encroached upon a local graveyard, converting the sacred land into flats. This unauthorized construction has not only desecrated the burial grounds but also obstructed a recent funeral, leaving the local community in distress.

The graveyard, located on the outskirts of Mandamarri, was overtaken by realtors who developed residential flats on the site. This blatant encroachment came to light when residents of Burada Gudem, a nearby locality, were left without a place to bury their deceased loved one, leading to hours of uncertainty and sorrow.

Temple construction raises suspicions

The situation has been further complicated by the construction of the Ashtalakshmi temple adjacent to the former cemetery. Locals suspect that the administrators of the temple may have had a role in the graveyard’s conversion, though these allegations remain unconfirmed.

Locals remain in shock

The destruction of the graveyard and the resulting chaos have deeply affected the residents, who are now questioning the legality and morality of such actions. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for immediate intervention by authorities to restore the sanctity of the burial grounds and address the needs of the grieving families.
