What was all along believed has come true that the land acquired for the burial grounds admeasuring 30,000 square metres at Sonsodo has no other approach road or access other than the approach road used by the Christian cemetery.
What’s further interesting to note is that the survey report has clearly stated that the approach road of the plot in question, which is being used by the Christian cemetery is part of the land acquisition, indicating that no separate plot of land has been acquired by the Margao Municipal Council to gain access to the 30,000 square metres acquired land other than the approach road used by the Christian cemetery.
A glance at the survey report further stated that the portion of the road was inaccessible for inspection and to conduct a proper survey since the premises were locked. The report has therefore stated that it is not ascertained whether there are graves existing on the said road.
