If the court orders on the Parsi fire temple weren't disappointing enough, the community's efforts to organise a peace march in their fight to save the Anjuman and Wadiaji Atash Behrams aren't shaping up too well either. Owing to differences over requests for donations, members of the community have publicly voiced their objections, with a couple of them even parting ways with the core team of Save Our Atash Behrams group.

Problems began surfacing when certain messages were circulated on WhatsApp and Facebook, criticising a member of the core team, Rukshad Panthaki, for allegedly requesting donations to print banners and posters for the peace march. One such donation request also mentioned the names and contact details of three other members of the core team including Rumy Zarir.
