The villagers at Elevala have expressed frustrations to city authorities who have desecrated the grave site of about four villagers early yesterday.
Villager councillor David Davai tells Loop PNG that four graves were dug up from the site opposite Haraga Primary School yesterday against the wishes of their families.
Davai says that this is a bullying tactic that is being used by the National Capital District Commission officials and contractors.
A shocked Davai says that some of the family members did not even know that the graves of their loved ones were being dug up.
He says that this is sacrilegious and shows no respect for the custom of the dead in the area.
Meantime, Davai and other elders are collecting statements to form part of the court action that they plan to take up with the State and the contractors of the road works that are taking place in the area.
