Further, the State Government hereby directs that while taking up afforestation in Gorucharan forests, the Forest, Environment and Wildlife Management Department shall take up plantation of fodder grasses and fodder bearing trees to enhance the availability of fodder to the adjoining village(s), with the involvement of the local Panchayats and Joint Forest Management Committees.
