Minister for Forests and Wildlife Protection A.K. Saseendran has said that permanent avenues will be set up to resolve issues connected to forest land in Kozhikode district and that officials from the Forest and Revenue departments will be part of it. At a meeting of people’s representatives and officials on Friday to discuss problems faced by those living close to forest areas, Mr. Saseendran asked Forest Department officials to put on hold border demarcation activities in areas where issues persisted. Forest and Revenue officials will conduct joint inspections at such locations and a fresh survey will be held to determine the borders. The border demarcation process will be taken up after the issues are resolved.
