On June 7, 2021, Supreme Court had directed the removal of illegal encroachments on forest land in Khori Gaon, a village at the foothills of the eco-sensitive Aravallis in Haryana’s Faridabad within six weeks.
In Haldwani, a large number of people are protesting on the streets after the order of the High Court to remove the encroachment from the railway land.
Preparations are being made to deploy a heavy police force to remove about 50 thousand people who are dwelling in the illegally encroached area in Haldwani.
