Belgaum Christian Cemetery Road Blocked Once Again by Indian Army

A Rolling Shutter now blocks Cemetery Road - the legal approach to the Christian Cemetery. in Belgaum, Karnataka
In August 2009, the high court had passed an interim injunction restraining the army, their agents/ servants or people acting on their behalf to erect tall fence posts across the Cemetery Road and not to alter the character and nature of the roads there.

In December 2009, under the Right To Information Act (RTI), details of the Cemetery Road were procured from the Cantonment records, which clearly give the length and width of the road. According to the records, a 12-ft-wide public road under the name “Cemetery Road” exists.

The army authorities made a narrow opening (for the road) in September 2009 after the high court order, which was not acceptable to the Christians who are demanding that the original 12-ft-wide Cemetery Road be left wide open. However, the community was shocked as even the small opening was blocked with a turn-style gate, making it impossible for even two-wheelers to use the road.
