Varadaiahpalem March 4: About 100 villagers from the Dalitwada of
Mambakam village of Varadaiahpalem mandal in the district on Thursday
encroached the sprawling 40 acre of the Kalki Bhagawan Ashram and
earmarked their individual borders.
According to information reaching here, villagers reached the ashram
surrounded by the reserve forest early in the morning. Carrying farm
equipment like crowbars, sickles and pickaxes, they started clearing
bushes and made individual boundaries, writing their names on the
rocks.
Police at Satyavedu and Varadaiahpalem station received information
around 10.30 am, but there was no action from them. Similarly, the
management of Kalki Bhagawan Ashram, located 12 km from the encroached
land, also did not respond.
Villages claimed that the lands originally belonged to them and the
ashram personnel had taken these over, making false promises.
They remained there till dusk and later left for their hamlet.
Meanwhile, about 30 parents of Kalki Dasas in the ashram addressed the
media on Thursday noon.
They rejected the news in the print and electronic media about drug
and other anti-social activities in the ashram.
They claimed that their children who were rendering service as
servants (dasas) to the Bhagawan were safe in his custody.
