"We tidy Jewish cemeteries a few times a year. More efforts are required in spring and fall – we are now mowing and removing grass, trimming branches, were necessary. Every fall, we rake and remove fallen leaves," Algirdas Verbickas, director of the municipal company Kapinių Priežiūra, said in a press release.

He said the company was not authorized to tidy the burial sites, saying there had been no reproaches from the Jewish community.
