He himself had talked to former Defence Minister Manohar Parikar after which the union government had informed the Himachal government through a communiqué that if state could transfer equal amount of land to the Army as had been encroached by the local people, then this matter could be resolved. He requested to take action at the earliest in this matter as per the prior orders of the Defence ministry.He further apprised the Union Minister that the work on five kilometers long road between Banog and Jabal Ka Baag under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana had also delayed due to this dispute. The Union Minister assured Dr. Bindal that all efforts would be made to settle this issue permanently.
