Paposh Nagar Graveyard is one of the oldest graveyards located in Paposh Nagar, Karachi, Pakistan.[1]
In February 2017, Karachi Metropolitan Municipality has banned burial in Paposh Nagar Graveyard due to lack of availability of space.[2][3] But despite the ban, people are illegally burying corpses.[4][5]
