🔴Between March 2021 and March 2022, over 3600 people (predominantly Muslim) were buried in a lot in Oddamavadi after a period of forced cremations

🔴Local villagers lost their land to create space for the burial ground; of 21.5 acres allocated for the site, only 10 acres are used — the remainder serves as a ‘buffer zone’.

🔴Locals claim the national government did nothing to compensate or contribute towards costs, despite promising to do so, and despite the COVID-19 relief fund.
