Govt to relocate 15 tombs at Grove, EBD to facilitate construction of pump station
Kaieteur News- The Ministry of Health, on Friday, announced that 15 tombs at the Golden Grove Burial Ground, located at Lot 1 Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD) will be relocated to facilitate pumps.
In a public notice, the Ministry said that the removal and relocation of the tombs are due to the setting up of pumps used to increase the drainage capacity in the Diamond/Grove area.
