The cemetery is divided into two sections, namely Roman Catholic and Protestant, to accommodate people of the two different Christian denominations. More recently the older graves are being replaced by new ones due to lack of space for the newly dead, as even the government had refused to donate new land despite repeated requests.[1] The cemetery pays its electricity bills in the name of Prophet Isaiah.[2]

Notable burials

  • Bakht Singh (1903–2000), Christian evangelist
  • A. B. Masilamani (1914–1990), Baptist pastor and evangelist
