Reserved forest?

edit

I removed from the lead the following passage, which seems dubious to me:

The peak is part of Kanglatongbi Kangpokpi Reserved Forest,[1] which was declared in 1968 by the Government of Manipur under section 20 of the Indian FOREST Act 1927[2][3]

The citation [1] gives a map that shows two forests, one called Kanglatongbi-Kangpokpi Reserved Forest, which was declared in 1968, and a second one called Koubru Reserved Forest. The article has a vague claim: the remaining portion of the northwestern part of the Koubru Range adjacent to the KK reserved Forest has also been declared as Koubru reserved forest. No date has been given or any order/declaration mentioned. Further the Annual Report 2018-19 of the Forest Department lists it as a "Proposed Reserve Forest".[1] So, I don't see the verification for the claim that the "peak" is in the Kanglatonbi-Kangpokpi Reserved Forest. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:32, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
