There seems to be a major flaw in the administrative and legal mechanism. Laws cannot be insulated and impractical and passed after 50 years of negligence or changed overnight without any concern as to the impact of the same on people. The repucussions for lakhs of innocent residents and flat owners who have legally and legitimately bought homes with their hard earned money cannot be simply overlooked because the administrative machinery was napping. while protecting forest lands is important, one cannot make scapegoats out of poeple living and working in the city who have right to a home. Mumbai is a commercial centre ever expanding and growing. The living needs of its populace cannot be simply ignored given the lack of availability of residential spaces.

The laws pertianing to forest land should be made clear and advertised specifically so that people are aware and know their position while purchasing any property.

Hope the issue gets resolved sensibly keeping the interests of lakhs of innocent familes in mind.
