As per the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023, which of the following categories of land is not covered under the provisions of the Act?
Forest land near international borders for defence projects up to 5 hectares in LWE areas
The Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023 (renamed the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam) covers land notified as forest and land recorded as forest in government records on or after 25 October 1980.
It exempts certain land from its provisions, including up to 5 hectares of forest land in Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas for defence and public utility projects, and land near international borders for strategic linear projects. So this category is not covered.
Hence, Forest land near international borders for defence projects up to 5 hectares in LWE areas.
