• In the month of May 2006, the
BMC got the order to demolish the cross opposite Nandi
Talkies. On three or four occasions the police came
to give us a warning. 25th May 2006 at 1.00 pm BMC bought
a bulldozer with a van full of 30 to 40 riot police
to demolish the cross. One of our Zone members immediately
took the action and contacted David Cardoz and Edwin
Brito.
Our Zone members alongwith the people of other faith
collected before the cross. David Cardoz presented to
them the copy of the entire papers submitted to the
BMC, stating that the cross was built Iin 1937 on the
private property and not illegal further it is on the
side of the road and not obstructing or causing hindrance
to traffic or people.
After long arguments and discussion the officals of
the BMC took measurements of the area and were convinced
and satisfied. Finally they withdrew the demolishing.
Our Zone community celebrated the victory of the cross,
recited rosary and had a get-together. We also celebrated
the cross feast on 1st of June with a get-together.
