Can a 300 m cut in a multi-km formation be termed as "destruction"?
Haven't we made similar small changes to sacred mountains like Thirumala (built roads by cutting into the mountain) or rivers like Ganga (built up embankments)?
I think the proper way to deal with this is as follows:
1) Allow creation of a HUGE Hanuman statue facing Lanka.
2) Allow creation of a 'Ramayana' Museum at Rameswaram combined with ferry service to the Hanuman statue from Rameswaram & Tuticorin
3) In return for the above, request permission for a 300-500 m cut in the Setu for ships and tourist ferries to pass through.
Instead of pleasing every section (new museum & statue for Ram Bhaktas, canal gets built, new revenue streams for South TN), the Gov seems to have DISPLEASED every section by insulting Ram Bhaktas AND stalling the Canal project.

Note that the Govt does not have to fund 1 & 2. I am sure the Bajrang Dal and the VHP will come through with the funds required for that.
