May had been asking me whether Isha encroached forest lands. IMO this is deviating from actual issue. Read full thread
Isha didNOT build on forest dept lands as such but it VIOLATED rules in other ways
Old Satellite image & map show that it was not forest but revenue land
Inorder to protect out environment, we had framed laws to secure permissions from necessary authorities. Since it was farmland and since it came under Hill Area Conservation Authority, necessary permissions were to be secured from respective offices
In their webpage, Isha says that they secured permission to construct statue on Sep - Nov 2016. But prior to securing permission itself they started constructing. Attached #Satellite images from Jan & Feb 2016 show that construction had already started before securing permission

And may be we'll get justice from the lower district court in Madurai. But that is also built on a lake
May be we should go even lower to the law college... But law college is also on a lake
A Kutty (Short) Story with Satellite Images about a hamlet near Tirunelveli, #TamilNadu
In 2003, the hamlet can be seen (marked in orange). It is next to Tirunelveli - Madurai railway line. There's a crossing (marked in black) through which people went to the nearby main road
Around 2018, Railways decided to build an underpass for this village so that they can double track this corridor. Concrete boxes can be seen in the image
And they started constructing the underpass by digging as seen in this satellite image
This man who is part of a national media network has published a wrong map of India as per Indian law. It shows parts of Ladakh which were ceded by Pakistan to China and around Siachen as "not part" of India.
