Shri. Mohan Gowda said that the temple was 50-years-old. Railway officials are its trustees.  Daily Pooja is performed in the Temple. In the blueprint of the land map, this place is marked as ‘Land of Devasthan’. The Temple is having an official electricity connection. There are some other official documents; so the Temple should not be demolished under any circumstances. We strongly oppose the demolition attempt. The Temple should be protected. We will fight a legal battle to save the Temple.

It was reported by the Hindus present that this place was earlier given to Nilkanth Deshi Kendra Mutt by the kings of Keladi. There are documents regarding it. For the last 50 years, the ‘Navratri’ festival is celebrated and every ‘Amavasya’ (New moon day) food is offered to everyone in the Temple. The railway department had permitted to build a Temple there. The Temple does not cause any hindrance to the people, roads and railways. It was, therefore, demanded that it be declared legal.
