Then there is the matter of the old stone border wall. Destruction of the wall was halted and Roy announced an agreement with OEH to restore the wall and create a walkway.. As you can see from the photos below, this has not and will not happen. OEH now want to exchange the new road they have built over the old demolished wall for the public road.

OEH have also promised to make the project as green as possible, removing some mangroves would be removed and greenery would be replaced by even more. All mangroves were removed.

No excavations or study was made despite the governments archaeologist stating that previous excavations on the site in 1986 had determind it as a site of the largest indian village on the Dutch side.
