Latest Answer: As a result of this misunderstanding, some officials from the forest department started fighting with the irrigation dept employees and managed to break the checkpost too. This led to further retaliation by the irrigation officials when they locked up the pump house and other installations of the reservoir. They also absconded from duty demanding action against the forest officials. The truce meeting suggested that the checkposts be manned by officials from both departments, and this is hoped to solve the problem.
