The land falls in Saraswati Nagar, adjacent to Bhadbhada Road leading to Bus Depot and to Bhadbada Dam.

In the name of temple construction, the encroachers not only grabbed a piece of government land worth several crores of rupees but encroached the entire area that is earmarked as the City's green belt.

The green belts and zones of City are such piece of land, which serves as lungs and absorbs poisonous gases released from the vehicles, air conditioners, room heaters, refrigerators etc. They are the ones that keep our City cool during summers and attract Rain God during monsoon and keep the water level in the Upper Lake and Kolar Dam, which quenches our thirst and provide water for household work.

But for the encroachers any piece of land in City limits means the same. They think and trigger an act to grab such land holdings.

In the present context, encroachers even dared to use signboard erected by Water Resources Department to guide people to find location of Kaliasot project office situated nearby. Now, the signboard says - Maa Mangla Devi Mandir with Kaliasot Project and other inscribed things coming secondary.

To dig up the matter, Central Chronicle approached the workers taking up construction work at the site. Even after persuasion they refused to divulge any details. When informed construction stands to be illegal and they could be arrested for the act, they observed silence, but refused to give any details.

Soon, Central Chronicle approached the Water Resources Department's Kaliasot project office situated nearby. Here too, officials refused to make any comment on the matter. When informed about the name of the temple under construction written on the signboard directing about the location of their office. The officers showed least interest to take notice what has been written on the Board.
