While the state government has decided to declare 600-acre of a forested patch in Aarey Colony as reserve forest, a green activist who did not wish to be named said that a few locals are spreading wrong news to tribals that they will have to lose their land in the process.
Hence to ensure that there is no misunderstanding, an important meeting was held on Sunday between the representatives from tribal hamlet and the members where the decision taken by the government was discussed in detail.
