MOUNT ABU "BLOWS its TOP"

MOUNT ABU ‘BLOWS its TOP”
This serene, live-and-let-live town today woke up from its submissive state of slumber and took
out its biggest rally ever in the history of Mount Abu to assert itself against the forest Authorities who are trying to impose strict laws of Forest Sanctuary norms on, this economic and viable city, . If this is allowed to take place it would be curtains for all the honest, peaceful, and nature loving folks of this ancient God fearing town. For centuries the natives and the local populace of this area have been catering to and looking after its natural environment. The forest authorities have suddenly woken up and feel the need to convert this peaceful semi-hill station (which caters to lakhs of tourists every year) into a Sanctuary. This action on the part of the Authorities seems needless, as to what they want to achieve denies the honest citizen his basic rights and amenities by imposing Sanctuary Laws. This brings to mind how in the earlier centuries the RED Indians of the United States of America, the original inhabitants were robbed of there birthright when their government imposed reservation laws on these fiercely proud people.
Is our government planning something similar by imposing Sanctuary law where it is not needed? What does the government want to achieve, by taking over the rights of the hill –folks who for centuries have been living in peace and harmony with their surroundings.
MY appeal to the Government and on behalf of all the residents of Mount Abu is to let Abu be FREE.
AS FREE, AS ANIMALS, PLANTS, FORESTS AND HILL-FOLKS
THAT HAVE LIVED FOR CENTURIES IN HARMONY “FREE”
