This comparatively old school was without a compound wall around its almost 5 acres of land. Of this 5 acres nearly some 30 cents are missing, may be taken for the road on the south eastern side of the school. Now, when we could arrange funds for the construction of the wall, naturally poeple around came with claims for our land, including provision for road to their houses! When we could convince those claimants of their false claims and assure them of a way to their houses, the demand grew from pathway to auto rikshaw to car and now for a lorry! And this demand came from no one other than the one who lived from a job in this school and whose children and in-laws are still earning their livelihood from the school.
How come people desire for what is not theirs? It is one thing not to block their path, and entirely a different thing to grant land for such conveniences as to allow a lorry to pligh in that way! Why should they have that much convenience at some one's cost? No, such tendency should not be tolerated anymore.
The so-called non-Christians are better to this people and their greediness! This is even after discussing with all the people concerned and coming to an agreement with them. Now, it seems that they are moving with the help of the political party... A former member from the place of the party raising such unreasonable and greedy demand seems to pull the trigger with the aid of the one in the scene now! Anyhow, it can't be let go...
If the people around don't want any development, why should we strive for that? After all it is for their well being this much endeavour is made from the diocesan side. They need to protect it and nourish it...
