Discipline lands lost
The Discipline community has lost 2.5 acres of forested land after the AVFO decided not to appeal a court order that awarded the land to private claimants. The land, which has been nurtured by Auroville foresters for over 40 years, was cleared of trees and fenced by private parties on 7 June 2025.
