The Rajya Sabha passed the controversial Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill on Wednesday August 2, which will allow the government to clear forests within 100 km of the national border to construct projects of national importance without permission. NDTV breaks down how this bill differs from the pre-existing Forest Act of 1980 - and how it possibly changes the definition of what a forest is in India.
