Starting September 1, Kuwait has implemented new regulations that restrict burial times to 9 AM and 3:30 PM daily. The change is intended to address extreme heat and enhance cemetery lighting.
Public Reaction to New Schedule
The new rules have led to significant criticism online. Many Kuwaitis feel the restricted hours do not provide enough flexibility, particularly during the intense summer heat. Concerns have been raised that these fixed times might cause delays and additional stress for grieving families.
Policy Aims and Public Discontent
While the government aims to streamline and improve burial services with these changes, public opinion is divided. Some support the policy as a practical response to extreme weather conditions, but others are calling for a review to better accommodate the needs of the public.
The debate continues as the new schedule takes effect, with many hoping for adjustments that will balance efficiency with the needs of families during difficult times.
