Ariana Approves Expansion of Sidi Jebali Cemetery Closed for 25 Years

The municipality of Ariana has approved a partial revision of its urban development plan, paving the way for the expansion of the Sidi Jebali Muslim cemetery. This decision addresses a critical need for burial space in the region, as the cemetery has been closed to new interments for more than a quarter-century.

Sidi Jebali cemetery reached its maximum capacity and was consequently closed around the year 2000. Since then, the lack of available space has posed a significant challenge for families seeking burial plots. The approved revision specifically focuses on enlarging the existing cemetery grounds to accommodate future needs.

Khaled Jebali, the director of technical services for the Ariana municipality, confirmed the plan's approval. He stated that the revision exclusively pertains to the cemetery's expansion, ensuring that the growing demand for burial sites can be met. This move is expected to alleviate pressure on families and provide a dignified solution for the community's needs.
