  7:00pm|DOC FILM|The Lost Forest (English/2012/20mins) Dir.Ishani K. Dutta A forest of
  conflicts, which tradition named Mangerbani. Located in Gurgaon, a 500
  acre forestland, a complete ecological system in itself, Mangarbani has
  been the bone of contention between the environmentalists who have been
  fighting to conserve it, and builders who have been coveting this land
  to make millions out of it. While no-one could deny that the forest was
  there because it was there for everyone to see, whether the Bani could
  be defined as a 'forest' became a big bone of contention. The Haryana
  government's most recent volte face on Mangerbani, saying that this land
  is not to be classified as forest and cannot be granted conservation
  status, has once again endangered this sacred land, one of the last
  surviving patches of greens in the already fast disappearing Aravallis
  of Haryana. Collab: Carrot Films
