During her hour-long meeting with Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna Wednesday, she reportedly agreed to the state's various proposals, including demand for Green Bonus in lieu of eco system services, empowering the state to give clearance for using one hectare of forest land for development, relaxation in timeline for declaration of Eco-Sensitive Zone, possible requirement of forest land for relocating 298 disaster-affected families, deputing a MoEF nodal officer to give clearance for using upto five hectare forest land at local level. "Most of the demands we put before her are old. We have already sent proposals to her ministry," said a state government official.

"Now we can use forest land upto one hectare to build helipad, ropeway, bridge and alternative alignments of roads," said a source in the state government.
