The order further states that these committees will assist and report to the high-level panel constituted by the J&K government on the matter on 19 September, 2020.

The committee is headed by Principal Secretary Revenue and comprises Commissioner Secretary, Forests, Ecology and Environment, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Divisional Commissioner, Jammu and Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir.

In its first meeting held on September 28, 2020, the committee recommended that sub-committees shall be constituted at the district- level to provide regular hearing to the parties, citing that the Indian Forest Act-1927 and Revenue laws empower the divisional forest officer and deputy commissioner to decide on the status of the land involved.
