There is a tussle going between Forest Department and Football Academy on a claim for Aravali Land situated near to Ghamorj village of Gurugram, Haryana. Forests Department argues that land belongs to them while footballers contending it is owned by the village panchayat. forest officials twice tried to plant trees on the twoacre ground to reclaim it as forest land, but were opposed by the villagers. Officials said since this land comes under forest area, they would continue to treat it as forest land. A mahapanchayat was held after the ground was taken over by the forest department. In the mahapanchayat it was decided the field belongs to the village and it will be given for kids to play. Ghamroj has recently emerged as a budding nursery for Indian football, having produced several nationallevel players, including 10 who have played for different professional clubs across the country in the ILeague. Footballers of Ghamroj complained that forest officials came without prior notice and planted trees in and around their playing field. Footballers have sit on hunger strike and villagers have decided to take the matter to supreme court if forest department continue to plant trees on land.
