However, Bangalore Metro is intent on destroying this sylvan, biodiversity rich church campus to dump its construction equipment and build a station inside the sacred grove.

Alternatives exist which can make the Metro work better in the public interest, which will save All Saints Church and its beautiful campus for posterity.
