Sindh Approves Mega Graveyard Project in Karachi Amid Growing Burial Space Crisis

The Sindh government has approved a mega graveyard project in Karachi as part of efforts to resolve the growing shortage of burial space in the metropolis. The decision comes after officials repeatedly highlighted that most existing cemeteries in the city are either full or nearing capacity due to rapid population growth.

Under the approved plan, new large-scale graveyards will be developed on the outskirts of Karachi with modern facilities and proper management systems. The initiative aims to ensure long-term availability of burial space for citizens while also regulating unplanned and overcrowded graveyard expansion within the city.

Authorities stated that the project will be carried out in phases, with land identification and development work to be completed under the supervision of relevant departments. The move is also expected to bring better organization to burial services and reduce pressure on existing graveyards that have been in continuous use for decades.

Officials emphasized that Karachi’s growing population has made it necessary to adopt a structured and sustainable burial infrastructure plan. The mega project is part of broader urban planning efforts to improve essential civic services in the city.
