The move comes after the ministry was asked to submit its response by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) during the hearing of a case registered by the tribunal based on a media report published in Hindustan Times.
In the latest hearing held on January 3, the MoEFCC responded that it has directed the Maharashtra government on December 18 to submit the latter's response on encroachment over reserve forest land and the action taken so far.
