HYDERABAD: Determined to put up a fight against the government's move to acquire their land for Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) project, members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) will launch a mass contact programme across the state next week.
"We have decided to protest the proposal of taking away our land for Metro Rail project. We will launch an awareness programme across the state next week to mobilise mass support," Sahadev Das, president of Iskcon, Secunderabad, said.
The HMR authorities had issued a land acquisition notice to Iskcon located on Sardar Patel Road opposite St John's Church in Secunderabad to get 1,700 sq yards of the 3,500 sq yards belonging to the temple.
The land is required for metro corridor-III that runs from Nagole to Shilparamam via Sangeet and Iskcon. The devotees of Lord Krishna were in no n mood to hand over the temple land, said Sahdev Das.
