The gate and boundary wall had been damaged during the recent Farmers' Martyrs' Day protest. However, the factory management reconstructed the structures overnight, triggering fresh resentment among protesting farmers. Farmer leaders alleged that the company was ignoring their longstanding demand to restore the lake for public use. They warned that if the lake was not handed back to villagers and farmers, they would once again demolish the factory gate as part of their agitation. The issue has been simmering for nearly two months, with farmers insisting that the lake is a public resource and should remain accessible to local residents.
