Hi All,
There’s been much discussion on the Forest Conservation Bill and the amendments that got passed last week in the parliament session. Here are a few that I found very useful.
1. Down to Earth - [What is the Forest Conservation (Amendment) Bill that the parliament passed? - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uzw7_3AEar4)
2. Live Law - [Parliament Passes Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E393urEVgwg&t=203s)
