HINDU residents in Jelai, Negri Sembilan, are upset after unknown persons dumped chicken carcasses at a location used for funeral rites by the community, Makkal Osai reported.
A complaint to the Jempol Municipal Council resulted in the area, next to a river, being cleared due to the environmental hazard.
The council also closed off the area, leaving the community with no place to conduct their rites.
Seremban Jaya assemblyman P. Guna who visited the place with local village chief K. Raja urged the council to identify a suitable location for the Hindu community to conduct their rites.
