What is the reason for the decrement?
Government does not seem to know the reasons.
The concrete jungle is increasing and the conversion of agricultural land into residential area is increasing near the metro cities and agricultural land is also used for the industrialization so the land under agriculture is getting converted under residential land and forest land is getting converted into agricultural land
