The Muslim shopkeepers of namchi kept their business establishments closed today to protest the govt's decision to allot their burial ground in namchi to be used as a truck stand.
This graveyard, situated at 12th Mile on the Jorethang - Namchi stretch, one they have been using since pre-Merger days, had already been desecrated by the dumping of excavated mud from the road widening work there. Yesterday, the site was marked out as a truck stand, leading the community to escalate their protest to the shutting of their shops today.
