Attempts are being made to grab land at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a green activist has alleged. As per Stalin D from NGO Vanashakti, trees have been chopped in recent weeks and a wide road has been created between SGNP and Aarey outside Royal Palms at Goregaon.

“In recent times, there have been increasing intrusions into the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and breach of the boundary walls of SGNP and Aarey Milk Colony. Just before the split [about 50 mtrs] where one road goes to Royal Palms and the another leads to Sai Bangoda, we have seen that both walls have been breached and a road has been made in the forest.”
