Most Hindu burial grounds in the core Bengaluru full; outer zones lack sufficient facilities

Adding to the problem is skewed utilisation of resources, and encroachments

Hindu burial grounds are facing the same problem plaguing Christian cemeteries: paucity of space to bury the dead in the wake of the heavy toll that the second wave of COVID-19 has taken on society. Many of the grounds in the core city area are mostly full. The problem is compounded by the fact that facilities to bury the dead don’t seem to have kept pace with rapid expansion of urban sprawl in the newly added areas to the city, especially the south-east parts of Bengaluru that house the IT Corridor.
