On delay in receiving papers, we enquired with the courier company at Nashik as to why there was so much of delay in receiving the papers, we were informed that the papers were sent in the name of ‘Sanatan Sanstha, Ramnathi,Goa’ and after reading the name Sanatan on the envelop, police were checking the papers and due to police enquiry, workers from the courier office were not ready to take them to ashram.
