Latest on the temple rebuild / demolishment

As you all know, a new land has been given to the temple management to set up the new temple. A sum of $ also given to setup a temporary temple while the actual building are built. The place given is satisfactory and better. The land is being prepared by the developer to handover to temple management. A new temporary temple will be built very soon. Everything being done is favorable to the temple now. This news has eased a tiny bit of pain of the Indians due to the demolishment.

While this is going on at the new site, at the old site of the demolished temple, our brothers and sisters who bravely opposed the authorities during the temple demolishment are in high spirit to rebuild the demolished temple. The demolished wall has been rebuilt partially. Deity statues (Vinayagar, Amman, Murugar) were bought and the Kumbabishegam was done on 4th and 5th October 2007. The temple committee is not involved in this.

Temple committee is now trying their best to use the opportunity to grab the new place and to grab all possible favors from the government for our community. While on the other side, they are trying their best to rebuild the current demolished temple.

The sad news is that, the old place sure will be demolished no matter how it is being built. The authorities has informed this to them as well. The demolition is confirmed. It's just a matter of time. Once the new land is utilized for the new temple setup, the older one will be demolished. It’s sad to see that the efforts of our brothers and sisters will be demolished together with the temple. There going to another round of clashes when the demolishment will take place.
How could we prevent this? Let’s pray so that no one will be injured during the demolishment. Anbe Sivam !

I'm glad that a replacement land had been alloted and some funds reserved, on top of that the developer is preparing the land to handover to temple committee..

But there a some doubts, is the land title transfered to temple management? Is it freehold?

On the issue of rebuilding temple at old site, I think our brothers and sisters should act more maturely instead of provocating another round of demolishment activity. They should act wisely since the authorities had offered replacement.
