Erosion at the cemetery

Erosion and garbage at the Pattoor cemetery

As you drive West on the busy road  from General Hospital towards Pettah / Chakka, the cemetery at Pattoor hits you right in your eyes, as the road forms a narrow kink here. The road can neither be realigned or widened because of this cemetery. Now the cemetery is affected by erosion during the monsoon and dumping of garbage along its periphery. Earlier, 'The Friend in Society' building was partially demolished to widen the road on the Eastern side of this site. Click here to see the building before demolition and after.
