“We will deploy security guards and install CCTV cameras as a part of security measures.

“This graveyard is spread on a land parcel measuring around 7.5 acres and it will be developed better than Vaikunta Mahaprasthanam,” he said. The facility will be available for residents from Sanath Nagar, Jubilee Hills, Kukatpally and Khairatabad.
Mayor G Vijaya Laxmi, GHMC Commissioner, DS Lokesh Kumar, GHMC Zonal Commissioner of Khairatabad Zone Ravi Kiran and others were present.
