“Can people not respect the dead? Why do you want to vandalise someone’s tombstone? What purpose could that possibly serve?” asked one furious resident.
“I have been visiting the graveyard for months, as I visit my beloved brother who passed away, and I see many people just wandering around the place. A few times, I saw some men gathered under a tree in the graveyard having lunch. Is this a park or a resting place for the dead?” added the resident.
