In the ongoing hearing in a bunch of Public Interest Litigation pleas filed before the Allahabad High Court concerning the safety and security of pilgrims visiting Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan, the temple sevayats told the HC that they are ready to shift the diety somewhere else and construct a new temple if the UP Government gives them land for the said purpose. The argument was advanced before the Bench after the Petitioner's advocate Shreya Gupta raised the demand to withdraw the decree passed by the Civil Court concerning the Banke Bihari Temple. The Sevayats have been opposing the UP Government's proposed scheme for the development of the temple area and its proper management inter alia contending that the project would entail the destruction and demolition of various temples and 'Kunj Galis' for the construction of public toilets, gardens fountains etc.
