In what can be called as a bizarre incident, families living in Chah Pokhar in Achnera block of Agra are forced to turn their houses into a graveyard due to lack of burial ground. They have been burying their dead ones in their homes and it has become part of their day to day life.

According to the Times of India, most of the Muslim families living in the village are poor and landless. Men in their families work as contract labourers. The desperate residents of the village have been demanding for a graveyard for years, but their demands were ignored by the authorities.
