Fenced out!

This is the tree, and the only one on the Yamuna riverbed stretch behind Akshardham Temple, where about two hundred people saw the announcement of a satyagarh against commercialization of the riverbed showcased in the construction Commonwealth Games facility that Delhi will host in 2011.

In the following days, a 12-feet high wall made of concrete slabs metamorphosed and the campaigners, including India's water man, Rajendra Singh, observed the 50th day of the protest underneath a massive water-pipe on the edge of the land where the construction is on in full swing.
