The following topics were discussed in the meeting & unanimously resolved:

• Vrindavan should not be developed as a metropolitan city like Mumbai or Delhi. The small lanes, old tress, ancient buildings with its architectural value are the charm of this town. There is no sense of broadening the road by 70 – 80 feet when there is no proper parking available in the town.
  
  
• The participation of the priests from the different temples will strengthen the alliance. More temples should join the alliance.
  
  
• The trees in the Raman Reti Road and in the Parikrama Marg should not be cut when the roads are broadened. The vehicles should be completely banned in the Parikrama Marg.
  
  
• The vehicles coming to Vrindavan should be parked out side the town. The visitors should go to the temples on foot, using the cycle rickshaw, or the traditional horse cart. Separate pass should be issued to the residents to bring the vehicles in the town.
  
  
• A special workshop should be conducted after 16th April to make the integrated master plan for Vrindavan.
  
  
• The next meeting on 11th April 2010 will be held at Shri Gokulananda Temple.
