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.
(Note: This photo depicts tombs at the Le Repentir Cemetery in Georgetown.)
According to the notice, the tombs, which are situated in the southwestern section of the burial ground, must be relocated due to their current positions and the structural damage that has been identified upon inspection.
Further, relatives and family members of those interred in the affected areas are urged to get in touch with the Grove/Diamond Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) for further details. They are asked to provide relevant information regarding the deceased to ensure a smooth and respectful relocation process.
