The landslide along the four-lane port connectivity Varunapuri-Sada highway has endangered a Hindu crematorium, Christian cemetery and a Muslim Kabrastan, all located above the hill.
“There is a huge and a deep crack that has developed on the hill and there could be another landslide anytime and it could endanger the Hindu crematorium, Christian cemetery and the Muslim Kabrastan above the hill,” said Mormugao MLA Sankalp Amonkar.
“The Christian cemetery is closest to the landslide area and I have asked those managing the Christian cemetery to vacate any staff working there for their own safety and to remove any stuff there, because the hill is in a precarious position and the Christian cemetery can come down in case of another landslide,” said Amonkar.
Another local feared that another major landslide could bring down the Christian cemetery along with the Hindu crematorium and Muslim Kabrastan located close to each other.
