Himachal Court Ruling Upsetting Government & Apple Farmers

Imagine the government said you could not grow apple trees on land that belongs to the forest.

The High Court agreed.

Now, the government is upset because the court ordered the apple trees be removed, which is bad for farmers who make money from apples.

The court says the government should plant regular forest trees instead.

Farmers are angry because they are losing their apple trees, which take years to grow.

The government is worried too because apples are very important to the state's economy.

Some people think this decision helps the environment, but others are upset because they don't want any trees cut down.
