A section of forest in Haryana has been cleared to construct a road leading to a newly established factory, according to reports.
A forested area in Haryana has been cleared to make way for a road that will serve a newly set‑up industrial factory, the Times of India reported. The construction involves removing vegetation from a designated patch of forest to create a vehicular link between the factory site and existing road networks.
Environmental groups have highlighted the loss of green cover, noting that such clearance can affect local biodiversity and disrupt ecological balance. The removal of forest land for infrastructure projects typically requires clearances under the Forest Conservation Act, but details of any approvals have not been disclosed.
State officials have not provided a comment on the project, and the report does not indicate whether any legal challenges have been filed. The development underscores the ongoing tension between industrial expansion and forest conservation in the region.
