    So far the temple has not been demolished or touched. No devotee seems to have been harassed or molested. What seems to be is that if the Govt agreed in 1997 to 3.6 meters: why did you not build a nice wall at 3.7 and clean whatever was outside before the Govt came as it looks they now are at about 6 meters !! Money as compensation has been offered. I heard even that they were to give the land next to the temple. Is it not bad management ? bad communication ? or just no communication ? Almost 15 years have passed. I thought this was all settled a long time ago.

    Humble Suggestion: if you have access, why not list all the names of each signer and post online, this way when friends see it, then they might get encouraged to contribute their signature also, while also telling other friends about it, which is what perhaps many if not most can do best in this situation ? The list would be long, so maybe a facebook Photo (series) Link (alphabetical) can be posted ? This list can also be useful for future get-togethers on this and other related issues.
