Rewari news:8,852 acres of land in the Aravali region of Rewari district have been declared a protected forest area by the Haryana government. The government has also issued its statement. Now this area will be entirely wooded and the maintenance of these wooded areas will be in accordance with the Indian Forest Act 1927. DC Mohammad Imran Raza reviewed the Aravalli project along with other officials including the Forest Divisional Officer in the small secretariat auditorium DC Raza said the Haryana government had taken a remarkable and important step towards environmental protection.
The DC said that the Aravalli region is a very important area from an ecological point of view, but since they are not notified under the forest law, these areas are not being properly cared for. Illegal non-forestry work used to take place in these areas, contrary to strict measures under the Forestry Act, but now this area has been designated as a protected forest area. Now, if a person or institution does any kind of non-forest work in these areas and takes action against them under the rules of the Forest Act, the matter goes to the Environmental Court.
