Event Details : 'The Lost Forest' documentary film screening followed by a panel discussion.
 A sacred grove that held in its heart secrets of a bygone era. A forest of conflicts, which tradition named Mangerbani. Whether it could be defined as a forest became a big bone of contention. The Manger Draft Development Plan 2031 permits 22 kinds of real estate activities to happen inside a green belt of Aravallis, which is in stark contrast to the Regional Plan 2021 for NCR. Maybe that’s because land comes at a premium here, because if it is not a forest there’s no need to conserve it; because developers are waiting to pounce on it, and they mean big money. The fate of Mangerbani seems to be already sealed. It’s already a lost forest; a forest that isn’t there.
