Forest Land Transfer

New Uttarakhand High Court, The Forest Department in Haldwani has commenced the transfer process of land for the proposed Uttarakhand High Court in Greater Haldwani, Gaulapar. Along with identifying the land spanning approximately 26 hectares near the International Zoo, the Forest Department has conducted a thorough survey, including a count of the trees present on the site. The survey reveals a total of 4,238 trees of various species, which will need to be felled.
Anil Joshi, the Sub-Divisional Forest Officer of Terai Central Forest Division, informed that a detailed report on the trees has been compiled after the survey. The land harbors diverse species such as rosewood, khair, and neem. The Justice Department will be responsible for the subsequent procedures. Once the land transfer is completed, necessary measures will be taken to remove the trees.
The selected plot for the High Court construction is situated in Golpapar, in proximity to the Zoo and adjacent to the previously designated site for the ISBT (Inter-State Bus Terminal).”
