This 12,000 sq km desert sanctuary, home to endangered species like the snow leopard and Tibetan antelope, also hosts military outposts, grazing grounds, and even hamlets. Now, authorities are using GPS, satellite imagery, and ground surveys to verify land claims; including those of defense installations; while protecting traditional pastoral rights. The twist? No new encroachments will be allowed after cut-off dates, and all claimants get a hearing. This isn’t just a land survey; it’s a delicate balancing act between national security, ecological preservation, and local livelihoods. For job seekers eyeing roles in forest, wildlife, or defense sectors, this is a live case study in how policy, technology, and ground-level politics intersect. The SDM of Nyoma is leading the charge; and you’ll want to watch how this unfolds. Because in border regions, every acre maps to a bigger story.
