The issue of encroachment inside the forest Aarey Milk Colony, has now moved to a green patch near Vihar lake in the area. Huts are being erected in the area, said a nature lover who spotted it during a walk one morning.

"Three days ago, I was shocked to see that hutments were being built on the green patches. Huge chunk of land was also being fenced using barbed wire," said the man on condition of anonymity. He added that a piece of land was also being used to grow vegetables.
