The Administration also propose to make the approach to the grave one-way traffic and no vehicles will be allowed to park near the graveside. Arrangements are being made to provide a car park on the low lying areas west of the grave. The police have succeeded in ousting the Mujavirs ... from the graveside, but the combing out beggars continued throughout yesterday [Sept 25].
