Hi Mr Sooraj,
According to news, this area initially belonged to Arthala gram sabha however in year 1990, it was given over to the GMC. Since the zone frames a piece of Arthala lake and was home to numerous transitory birds for a really long time, in year 1993-94, then magistrate declared it as a bird sanctuary, making the district forest department its protector in year 1995.

@Sooraj ,
GMC, which was initially the protector of the area till it was changed over into a bird sanctuary, pass responsibilities to the Housing Board, which thusly sold it off to private builders.It is the naked fact that the area was sold to two private builders, who thus continued to fence it however needed to back off after an objection.

The matter, starting now, hosts two parties, the forest department and the Housing Board, and with the matter coming up in the NGT, it would now be dealt with for once & for all.

Hey guys,

As per sources, the green court's notification came in the wake of an appeal filed by a city-based environmentalist in May taking after a report in January that highlighted how the 48 acres of land , declared as bird sanctuary around 20 years prior, in the Hindon barrage region of Vasundhara was supposedly sold to private builders.

Hi Sooraj,
As per current news, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Wednesday issued notification to the Union and state governments as well as five others in regards to a wetland of 48 acres of land in Vasundhara, declared as Hindon Bird Sanctuary, which was probably sold to private builders by the civic agencies.
