WEEKS after StarMetro published the exclusive report on the redevelopment plans of the century-old Vivekananda Ashram, the Vivekananda Ashrama Kuala Lumpur (TVAKL) management committee has finally broken their silence over the issue that came under heavy scrutiny.

In their statement to the press, the committee said the ashram was registered as a private company and the land was acquired more than 80 years ago. With regard to the development plans, the statement said the committee remained cognisant of the commercial value of the land in the area.
