In light of the threat that encroachment poses to the 812-acre patch in Aarey Milk Colony that has been designated as a forest, the area will be surrounded by a cement concrete wall. The forest department will also set up the protection huts and ensure vigorous, round-the-clock foot patrolling takes place.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) Range Forest Officer Narendra Muthe stated, “We will be constructing around five-kilometre-long cement concrete protection wall in order to better preserve the 812 acres of forest patch in the colony from encroachment. Along with this, our staff will also be patrolling the area on foot and will be present 24/7 in protection huts that will also be coming up in the area.”
