Some cemeteries in the city of Settat suffer from neglect and marginalization. Some of them have become a dumping ground for garbage and trash, others have become a breeding ground for vagrants and alcoholics, and some have become a breeding ground for various reptiles. including poisonous snakes and deadly scorpions, which requires serious and responsible action by the authorities concerned to clean them and take care of them.

Many visitors to the Al-Tawijin cemetery, east of the city of Settat, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the dire situation in which the cemetery finds itself, especially in winter, when mud hinders their movements, while snakes and scorpions impose a ban on some families who have found it extremely difficult to pay compassionate visits to their dead.

Also, the Moulay Ahmed cemetery, the Sidi Abdel Karim cemetery and others, which contain the graves of Muslims, are in turn experiencing an absolutely catastrophic situation due to their transformation into a hotbed of garbage dumping, alcohol consumption and violation of the sanctity of the dead, in a flagrant attack against the moral values ​​that our true religion demanded.

Zealous associationists had previously denounced the state of the city’s cemeteries, which had become a breeding ground for various venomous reptiles and deadly scorpions, a refuge for deviants and marijuana users, and a breeding ground for animals such as donkeys and mules tied along their dilapidated walls, requiring intervention to save the situation.
