At around 5 in the morning of 17th May, 2009, a huge force of around 500 CRPF, STF, Chhattisgarh Police, and SPOs (the contingent included 100 policewomen), landed at the campus of VCA at Kanwalnar and began cordoning off the entire area by posting para-military personnel in every direction. All these actions were part of the demolition of the VCA office and residential premises, which was to follow in the next few hours. A day before (Saturday, 16 May) a notice dated 13th May had been served to VCA by the SDM, which mentioned a period of five days (13-17th May) during which time the Ashram would need to be vacated since they deemed the Ashram to be "an encroachment" over government forest land. The notice and VCA's reply can be found here. More details can be found here. Please sign the petition demanding redress for this atrocity.
