A total of 35 villages were in Nirmal, 34 Adilabad, 84 in Asifabad and 9 in Mancherial districts. As all the proposals in these districts fall under Protected Area of Kawal Tiger Reserve, permission under Wildlife Protection Act from the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL)- Delhi was also required to process these proposals.
The proposals were to be examined with reference to recently amended Forest Conservation rules which also requires the need of equivalent non forest land as CA- Compensatory Afforestation for these proposals, he said.
