NCDC closes public cemetery

National Capital District Commission
It seems nobody wants to work this Christmas with the National Capital District Commission (NCDC) announcing the closure of the public cemetery at Nine Mile over the festive season.

In a public notice, acting City Manager, Simon Vai, advised the public that the cemetery would be closed for business starting on Christmas Day (December 25) and normal services would resume on January 6, 2014.

Meanwhile, NCDC is also placing a liquor ban during the festive season. The ban which will take effect at midnight on the eve of Christmas Day will apply on Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s.
