MOHALI:

In a pivotal clearance, the Punjab government has agreed to swap 23 acres of protected forest land falling under Sector 90 with land in Ludhiana's Mattewara village, giving renewed hope to around 700 allottees awaiting land possession for a decade.

The land swap will allow the use of the protected forest land in Sector 90 for non-forest purpose. In exchange, the land in Mattewara village will be developed as a forest.
