We have seen how if Government or Departments want to get land, they can get it through a CPO. Is it possible for CPOs to be used to access national monuments and graveyards not owned by the Department? CPOs can be used for strategic projects so why can it not be done for our natural heritage and monuments? Can that be looked into?
