“Gulati had asked me to take into account the Survey of India map and change the status of the land. “The land is marked as ‘gair mumkin’, which is not forest land. We also have sub-categories for Aravalli forest as ‘gair mumkin junglat’ (non-cultivable forest). The gair mumkin law pertains to the Shivalik ranges and is meant to protect the water sources there. The Act has nothing to do with forest land in the Aravallis,” Gulati to Hindustan Times.
