Ajmer: The state forest department has initiated steps to prevent grabbing of forest land for illegal constructions by constructing walls on the borders of forests. The plan is to construct six to eight feet walls as part of an eco-restoration programme.
In Ajmer city alone, 3,000 encroachments were detected in a survey last year and notices were issued to the encroachers.
