Land reserved for forest conservation is prohibited from being used for any other purpose under which law?
AE-waste (Management & Handling) Rule, 2011
BEnvironmental (Protection) Act, 1986
CWildlife Protection Act, 1972
DForest (Conservation) Act, 1980
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980
1. The law that bars using reserved forest land for other purposes is the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
2. Under it, even mining needs central government permission.
3. The 1986 Act targets pollution, and the 1972 Act protects wildlife trade, so they are wrong.
4. The E-waste rule concerns electronic waste; hence the answer is the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
