Kozhikode The State government will have to walk a tightrope between evicting the encroachers from forest lands and complying with the Supreme Court order to regularise encroachments made prior to January 1, 1977. “For various reasons, the government could not evict the encroachers until now. At present, we need to re-examine the complex issue in detail and if required, hold separate discussions with all stakeholders to reach a positive conclusion,” Minister for Forest and Wildlife A.K. Saseendran, said in an interview to The Hindu.More Related News
