Some very valid concerns have been raised over the Art of Living event to be held on the banks of the River Yamuna. With such a colossal stage being built, with thousands of people being invited and with such a huge parking space — all these are bound to have a negative impact on the environment. However massive preparations have already been made and foreign delegates have been invited and if at this point the show is cancelled, it would result in a huge embarrassment. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar should rather take responsibility and compensate for the damages likely to occur.
