But the process of regularization of the purchased land has been started. After which the villagers went to NGT regarding the mountain land.
The first notification came from NGT in 2015, but in 2016 the villagers withdrew their complaint from NGT.

The purchased land will lead to development in the village. In the year 2024, Brahm Singh and some other villagers of the village filed a petition in the High Court regarding this matter. After which the hearing of the case started.
