MUMBAI, May 18 -- Nearly a month after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) razed most of the 90-year-old Digambar Jain Temple in Vile Parle amid widespread protests, the civic body has now permitted the construction of a temporary shed over the temple's idols ahead of the monsoon season. The move follows a Bombay high court (HC) order issued on Wednesday, directing the Shree 1008 Digambar Jain Mandir Trust to formally apply to the BMC for interim shelter. Responding to the court's directive, the BMC approved the shed on Friday. Permission has been granted for a 232-square-metre structure at a nominal charge of Rs.77 per square metre-amounting to Rs.17,877. The approval is valid till October 31, contingent on the payment, which the temple trust confirmed has already been made. "We will begin constructing the shed from Sunday," said Anil Jain, trustee of the temple trust. "The idols, the temple premises, and the saints who visit currently have no shelter. At the same time, we continue our legal battle against what we believe was an illegal demolition by the BMC. We are demanding that the temple be rebuilt." The demolition, carried out on April 16, sparked outrage across the Jain community and among political leaders. While the temple had stood for nearly a century, the BMC maintained it was unauthorised. The trust has argued that it was not given adequate time to appeal the civic body's decision in the HC, due to intervening court holidays....
