Pilot TPU in Bambu Apus will Accommodate 9,000 Tomb Plots"On the first day of Eid, we came to our relatives houses. For today, we do pilgrimage," he said, Monday (6/26).
He appreciated the public cemetery's PHL personnel for taking care of tombs well.
"The grass is short and neat now. This is surely treated well routinely," he expressed.
Meanwhile, Karet Bivak TPU's Funeral Service Non-Public Servant, Sri Krisnawati said, pilgrims on yesterday morning were more crowded than today.
"Maybe many citizens are still conducting homecoming or spending their holiday by taking a walk," she said.
She added that her side can not ensure the number of pilgrims who take a visit.
"We can not inform the exact number because citizen are free to visit," she closed.
