BD150,000 repairs planned for Muharraq Cemetery wall
Work is in progress to assess repairs to the perimeter boundary wall of Muharraq Cemetery, the Sunni Waqf Directorate has announced. While the cracks are minor, the restoration could cost between BD100,000 and BD150,000. Authorities are working with the relevant bodies to ensure durable materials are used, with the aim of extending the wall's lifespan by a decade. The response came after the Muharraq Municipal Council sought an update on maintenance plans for the cemetery. New mourning halls Meanwhile, the directorate confirmed that three new mourning halls will be built at Muharraq Cemetery, with another planned for Budaiya and one more for Manama. The halls will be large enough to hold sizeable gatherings and will have designated entry and exit points. Plans have been drawn up, all necessary departments have been consulted, and work is set to begin once a few outstanding permits are secured. On cemetery lighting, the directorate said efforts are being made to improve visibility, with an added push towards solar-powered options.
