And also prepare a proposal on it in 60 days and send the same to the state Government for legally bound to protect this land as a green buffer zone, official added.

“After we reserve 100 hectares for wetland and bird sanctuary, the remaining 170 will be used for housing projects in future. This 100-hectare green buffer will work as lungs for the area to be urbanised,”a senior official added.
