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.

In a report in this paper, a Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) official stated that  a five-kilometre-long cement concrete protection wall will better preserve the forest patch in the colony from encroachment. Staff patrolling the area on foot 24/7 in protection huts coming up in the area is also part of the plan.
