The Hindu section of the cemetery covered 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres). In 1991, the Yangon City Corporation (now the Yangon City Development Committee) ordered the relocation of graves at St. John's Cantonment Cemetery to Kyandaw. The graves included those of British soldiers. In 1994, the army moved the remains of the interred from to Kyandaw to build a supermarket. (en) |
