NEW DELHI/GUWAHATI:

Yadava was at the centre of controversy on illegal diversion of forest land recently. Yadava, who made the news for approving the construction of a commando battalion unit on the Assam-Mizoram border through the diversion of around 44 hectares of forests in 2023, a decision initially criticised by the Union environment ministry, also approved the diversion of another 28 ha at the Assam-Nagaland border in Geleky reserve forest in 2022 for a police battalion camp.
