What lies beneath
When you are digging up downtown Deira? Skeletons, apparently:
The men say they were asked by police to put any other bones they found into a garbage bag, which would be collected later.
A 7DAYS reporter saw several bones, including a human skull, lying in a bin bag. An official from Dubai Municipality confirmed the area was used as a cemetery as recently as 30 years ago.
Not the most dignified end for someone's mortal remains: dug up and shoved into a garbage bag by labourers.
But this is progress: develop, develop, develop.

10 dhs says balushi comments about a relationship he had involving a skeleton.
Balushi, Baluchi, Baluchi is all iv been hearing. what about the poor skull!
guess the ghosts roam the corridors of the new towers built atop the graveyards.
Probably on visit visa too :-)
i'd say 20 sam.
The next thing we'd expect, stories of haunted houses to begin..
They could use these remains for sprucing up what could be dubai's majestic 'house of horrors'..scratch that - "Horror City"
Hurry, the grand prize is a candlelight dinner with the greatest rotten corpse of them all (drum roll).... Balushi!.
Tickets available only at Balushi's rear outlet.
This is so so awful. A baby in our family was buried there about 36 years ago, and they were not allowed to mark the grave site. Not knowing if his remains have been dug up is causing a lot of pain for the older members of the family.
It was even worse when they saw the photos of the skulls.
but is it ecologically correct to use a burial ground for development just 30 years after its been used for the purpose?
I dont have much idea about this.. but shouldnt they leave the ground untouched for say atleast 50 years to allow proper decomposition, could they be some kind of bacteria that could come in contact with the ppl digging?
Harsha...wake up to the world around you. Take a good look around, before you start sympathising with bacteria and the aspects of decomposition.
Some food for thought - what is this blog about? Why is everyone ranting? Why was this blog once blocked? Why is this blog insanely popular?
I hope your neurons start firing. Good luck.
This must surely be good news for anyone with a dead body or two to dispose of, especially if they've got someone buried in their back garden who keeps being dug up by the dog.
Since no gravesite's supposed to be marked here, it's probable that there are other places with misplaced bones out there.
In fact, I know of one that has, fortunately, been marked: the mysteriously cordoned off area right next to the Garhoud branch of the mOre Cafe.
This is the circle of life:
Graveyards are tunred into devlopment areas to accomodate more population.
More population means more dead bodies.
Since every inch of Dubai is now a development area, couple of years down the line development areas would be be turned into graveyards to accomodate more dead bodies.
and it goes on and on...
I hope this isn't really true...cause it is very disrepseptful to do so..throw human beings remains in the garbage like they are trash...
Yes, its the life cycle...but if they really needed to build over that area..and the found these bones, they should at least attempt to re_burry them in another area..
Balushi, speak for yourself. I am most likely to be checking the blogs from my imate while stuck in hours and hours worth of traffic (hey it kills the time). So I guess besides being an expert on traffic jams and Dubaays worst drivers I also have little 'real-life' experience.
