The Yasalur range forest officers had lodged a complaint alleging that the resort came under the forest area in DCF’s court in 2020. In 2021, the court directed the forest department to seal up the resort.

But, the resort owner approached the High Court and the case was transferred back to the DCF’s Court. On June 22, the court ordered to lock up the resort. Accordingly, the forest department officers conducted an operation two days ago and locked up the resort. A trench has also been dug to prevent any illegal entry.
