Disclaimer regarding the Change.Org petition. Nov 25 2020

We hereby state that the text in the petition titled "New Threat to Auroville's Forests" (update to the original petition against the highway called “Protect the afforestation attempts of Auroville”) contains incorrect information, sketchy and incomplete, and therefore gives a wrong impression about the issue. Also, the organizers of this petition have not been authorized by Auroville to do fundraising in its name. There is currently an internal process that is ongoing to try and come to a harmonious resolution of the situation and external pressures from individuals who do not have an understanding of the issues is not helpful to this process. Therefore, we request to please not sign and support the petition on Change.Org titled "New Threat to Auroville's Forests".
