Very few people know that ancient graves exist in the premises of Osmania General Hospital mortuary, which are being razed and leveled to ground gradually with a planned conspiracy. Old timers told that once there used to be a graveyard at the place but now there is a morgue at the place. There is a building abutting the mortuary which has paying rooms in whose courtyard one can find 5 graves. Next to that is a dental hospital which also has a shrine of a clergy man, right in front of its entrance. There are many graves in the nursery of Gardening Department too. This reveals that the buildings were constructed on graveyard. If Waqf Board takes interest in the matter, the graveyard can be saved from annihilation.
There is also a graveyard abutting Osmania General Hospital which has the historic tamarind tree that saved 150 lives during the flood on September 28, 1908. Unfortunately a place in the graveyard is being used for puja by keeping a photo of the deity.
