From Vishal Ladwa, Birmingham

I am writing to state my objection to the Sethusamudram Project. I was deeply angered to hear that the bridge was going to be destroyed for a shipping canal. This bridge was built by Shri Ram and forms a vital part of our religion. Why should we destroy this bridge for a few economic reasons? By destroying it, it is showing that a key aspect of the Ramayana is not important. If this bridge is destroyed, what other key parts of our religion will be destroyed next? All efforts to protect our Dharma would have gone to waste. It is also the sheer embarrassment to hear that the Indian Government are in favour of this project, which does damage to Hindus all around the world.

Apart from the obvious religious reasons there are many environmental impact, such as many species of wildlife and there natural environments will be destroyed, due to the formation of the shipping channel. Also the bridge provides an important barrier to protect Bharat from natural disasters. Scientists believe there are more to come and by destroying the bridge it would cause much damage, to property and lives.

Let the voice of Hindu’s be heard…stop the destruction of Shri Rams bridge!
