Скачать или смотреть Uttarakhand Forest Scandal: Is Padma Bhushan Anil Joshi’s HESCO Above the Law?

Uttarakhand’s forests are under threat—and this time, the allegations point towards a powerful and influential name.

Welcome to Himalayan Dawn. I’m your host Vivek, and in this report we bring you serious allegations involving HESCO (Himalayan Environmental Studies and Conservation Organization), founded by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. Anil Prakash Joshi.

According to a complaint filed on January 19, 2026, massive encroachment is alleged on reserved forest land in Arcadia Beat, Asharodi Range, Dehradun. Satellite images from ISRO Bhuvan and Google Earth reportedly show construction of roads, concrete structures, electric transformers, and interference with natural water streams between 2011 and 2025, raising questions under the Forest Conservation Act, 1980.

On January 21, a joint survey by the Forest and Revenue Departments was scheduled—but the Revenue Department Patwari failed to appear, stalling the investigation. Missing boundary pillars, permanent constructions, electric infrastructure inside forest land, and altered water flows now raise serious concerns about administrative failure, negligence, or influence.

Departments under the scanner include:
• Forest Department
• Revenue Department
• Irrigation Department
• Electricity Department (UPCL / PITCUL)
• MDDA (Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority)

While villagers struggle for years to get basic roads approved, how did permanent infrastructure come up inside a reserved forest in the heart of Dehradun?

These are allegations, and responses from HESCO and authorities are awaited.

👉 Watch till the end, share your views, and demand accountability.

🚨 Uttarakhand Forest Scandal | Serious Allegations Against HESCO 🚨

While villagers across Uttarakhand wait decades for a simple road, shocking allegations suggest that permanent roads, buildings, transformers, and bridges were constructed inside a reserved forest in Dehradun.

A complaint filed on January 19, 2026 has accused HESCO NGO, founded by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr. Anil Prakash Joshi, of encroaching forest land in Arcadia Beat, Asharodi Range. Satellite imagery from ISRO Bhuvan and Google Earth reportedly shows developments spanning over a decade.

A joint survey scheduled on January 21 collapsed after the Revenue Department Patwari failed to show up, raising serious questions. Missing boundary pillars, altered water channels, electric infrastructure inside forest land, and permanent constructions have put multiple departments under the scanner.

These are allegations, but they demand answers.
