The BMC has agreed to compensate the forest department for allowing it

more than 100 acre land adjoining Tadoba Andheri Tiger Reserve in
Chandrapur and hand it over to the forest department for afforestation.

the forest department insisted on the BMC providing land under the
compensatory afforestation rule.
