However, a green soldiers as a forest ranger came to the rescue as she pursued the case

She tried speaking to village sarpanchs and using JCB machine to remove encroachments and retrieve the forest land

[{"selector":"#anim-edc62e9a-1b74-4c86-857c-f4b3c5c67fec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.937499914669296%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8eb17bcb-8898-4235-92c5-14d492275d44","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30cb3d2e-5fde-47e5-93c1-e8b99e06ee49","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6707897-49d2-45bc-bb06-b503756fe4e9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Talking to locals and police personnel, she managed to convince the villagers for advanced operations

The forest department after taking the land in control, conducted a massive Compensatory Afforestation (CA) plantation drive
