MUMBAI - Christian voters in the Indian city of Mumbai have demanded more burial grounds ahead of national elections next month, claiming they are being forced to pile bodies on top of each other due to overcrowding in cemeteries.
Mumbai Christians want to get their voices heard and add burial grounds to the list of election topics. "The community has no option but to bury one body over the other. We do shroud burials now to save space," Mr Augustine said. "You don't have a dignified living. And then you don't have a dignified death," said Mr Dolphy D'souza, former national vice-president of the All India Catholic Union.
