Save Ramna Kali Mandir from grabbers
Governing body urges govt
The governing body of Ramna Kali Mandir in the capital yesterday urged the government to demarcate the temple's land immediately to protect it from illegal grabbers.
According to the legal documents, Suhrawardy Udyan was endowed (debottor) land, of which over two acres were allocated for the temple later on. During the 1971 Liberation War, the temple was damaged.
In 1999, the Hundu community set up a temple temporarily at one part of the Suhrawardy Udyan.
Addressing a press conference at the temple premises, the governing body demanded the temple's land to be returned so that a permanent temple could be built on it.
They also sought the administration's cooperation to evict illegal settlers from the temple premises.
The governing body President Jitendra Lal Bhowmik and General Secretary Doyamoy Biswas Dipu spoke on the occasion, says a press release.
