Jalgaon (Maharashtra): The Central Government has decided to demolish ‘Ram-setu’ on the pretext of reducing the distance required to be covered by ships between two countries viz. India and Sri Lanka and bring the two countries closer. The project is named as ‘setusamudram project’ by the Government. The ‘Ram-setu’ is revered by all Hindus. If this ‘setu’ is demolished, there will be adverse geographical effect like getting hit by tsunami so also spiritual loss. In view of the above, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) held demonstrations outside the office of District Collector. People’s response was very encouraging.
