In 2020, the National Green Tribunal said in its order illegal Construction and activities on forest land or area covered by the Aravali region are unlawful. Such forest land has to be recovered from unlawful activities.
According to the notification dated 07.05.1992, any construction that happens in the forest area or the area covered without permission of the concerned authority and departments after the date of the information has to be treated as illegal work, and such forest area has to be restored.
