After the protest by the people, the complaint was forwarded to the SDM. However, the administration has asked people to either remove the grill or bulldozer would be used.
 
 
 
Anil Banka, DM, East Delhi, said, "This was not a drive to demolish the temple, but to remove a railing on the footpath next to the temple. This railing was constructed by some people, a few months ago...it was blocking the way...people were informed that this railing would be removed, this was not the temple railing. Despite that, some confusion happened..."
