N. Sumatra village has no cemetery

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Unlike other villages in North Sumatra,
Klambir V has no public cemetery.

Villagers say they have frequently asked the Hamparan Perak
subdistrict administration to provide them with land to bury
their dead, but have received no response.

"This is the only village in the province without a public
cemetery. Residents have no other choice but to bury their dead
in their yards," said Arbain, head of the village with a
population of 1,097. --Antara
