Industries and companies now have to mandatorily plant trees many more than they cut if they are cutting them for projects. But there is a big issue of where they should plant these trees which are in huge numbers.
So the state government is exploring the idea of telling the industries to plant trees adjacent to the forest boundaries so that there is no or little maintenance is required.
Since some farmers own land next to forest area they are also willing to give this land to the government has the land is either non-productive or agriculture is not profitable. Also, there is fear of animal menace in these farms. They feel enough compensation from the government will improve their lives.
