The Palghar collector, Govind Bodke has stated that all encroachments other than the landowner's own house will be demolished from gairan (grazing) land at various places across the district. All commercial and industrial establishments will be razed.
The issue of Gairan land was raised in the recent convention of the State Assembly in Nagpur and a few ministers are accused of misappropriation of Gairan land. The aggrieved parties are not getting legal support from the courts nither the ministers issuing go-slow orders in this matter.
