Fig. 25 Core and Buffer Zones
To prevent the existing settlements from expanding and encroaching on the Hill, protective natural barriers such as rock outcroppings, orchards, and community grazing lands are proposed. No further development should be allowed to occur around outlying kunds and they too should have a grove of sacred trees (Kadamb, Tamal, Pipal, Banyan) planted in a 500 feet radius around the water body.
