Ministry believes that the Chhattisgarh government cannot transfer these lands for any purpose without the prior permission of the Government of India

A news report published in the Indian Express daily August 25, 2022 spurred a debate on the definition of ‘forest land’, its contentious history and many of the associated facts related to such lands.

Ignored completely by the colonial administration and largely unresolved even after independence, many of these facts remain obscure even today.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, in his budget speech in March 2022, announced that the state government had transferred 300 square kilometres of land in the Bastar region from the forest department to the revenue department.
