Manama: The Northern Municipal Council has raised concerns over the growing needs of Budaiya Cemetery, stressing the importance of urgent coordination between relevant authorities to ensure the site continues to serve the community in a dignified and organised manner.
The issue was discussed under the “Other Business” agenda during the council’s Ordinary Session 11.
Members highlighted that the cemetery is facing increasing pressure due to population growth in surrounding areas, creating a need to review capacity, maintenance requirements and overall readiness. Councillors stressed that cemetery services are a sensitive matter closely linked to public dignity, religious practices and community wellbeing, and should therefore be addressed without delay.
The council will raise an official letter to the Minister of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture, requesting coordination with the Justice Minister.
