The Congress government is likely to conduct a joint survey by Forests and Revenue Departments to find a solution to the over four-decade old problem of de-reserving the forest land, which currently has habitation.
It may be mentioned here that in May this year, the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) sent back the State government’s proposal for de-reservation of forest land, released earlier for rehabilitation of families affected by the Sharavati Valley Hydroelectric Project.
