No place to bury dead, an islet the final resting place
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|August 29, 2025
AROUND 150 families hailing from Shillekytha fishing community (Scheduled Caste) living at Menasuru Ravuru Camp in NR Pura taluk have no place to bury their dead.
These families have been deprived of a burial ground although they have been living in the camp near the backwaters of the Bhadra river for nearly two decades.
The community members are forced to bury the dead in an islet a few kilometers away from their camp. The body of an aged man, who died on Sunday, was taken to the islet on a coracle to perform the last rites.
