Handigondi has to be saved for posterity. The way to do it is to protest actively and visibly. Hundreds of climbers, naturalists, children, women, grandparents, students gathered at the Ghousia Institute of Technology on 29th May 2005, Sunday, on the Bangalore-Mysore Road and then rallied to the Handigondi rock in celebration of its natural splendour and to vow to protect it for posterity. You can also contribute your bit towards saving the Handigondi rocks by writing about your concerns to: The Office of HH the Dalai Lama.
