The wall is being constructed adjacent to the religious structure
While the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) authorities are trying to protect every inch of the 812 acres that have been declared as forest in Aarey Milk Colony, the issue of encroachment seems to be a worry. One such encroachment is a religious structure for which political pressure is being used to prevent forest department from constructing the protection wall.
A nature lover from Aarey said, “The forest department is making efforts to protect the 812 acres of area that has been declared as forest in Aarey Milk Colony, but there are some religious structures that have encroached on the forest land. They want to grab the land and so they are using political pressure and creating obstacles in the forest department work.”
