20-8-2011 Dear all,
I recently visited Pune for my 6 years old son's National Level Chess competition. We stayed at Katraj Jain Temple. We were 4 persons with 2 kids. As we have to stay there for 9 days for the competition, we have made a request. We were not allowed to stay any further inspite of request. We have to move out with our all luggage & kids. There were >100 rooms available & empty but a jain family with kids........not allowed. I agree that there should be some rules so that people do not misuse the facilities but there should be genuine consideration too. Even issue of another room in the name of my wife was also denied. now that for me is the height of the rigidity. One more aged family members at that time also visited at that time only. They were given rooms on first floor inspite of availability and their request for room on the ground floor. Frankly speaking, the managerial staff is not very cooperative. My humble request to all readers is to visit any jain temple / Tirth in
