thank you for your mail and we would like to assure you that you have our full support. 

we agree that what they are proposing to do to the lock keepers and their families is awful. 

all our experiences with using the locks have been very good due to the helpful nature of the lock keepers. 

they do a great job under difficult situations and instead of rewarding them, they are being 'punished'.

 
wishing you all the best in your undertakings to save the situation.
 
best of luck,
 
jana and mangala
