        I’ve been living in a small village outside a T2 city for the past few months. WFH. There’s a large wildlife sanctuary next to the village. Half the villagers go there for taking a shit in the morning. They go en masse in the forest to collect dry firewood. A couple of us go jogging on the same forest paths.

        Every time the new forest guard sees us jogging he stops us and gives us stern warnings. He threatens legal action etc. He says nothing to the other villagers. When we confront him about this inconsistency, he says no one is allowed in and they will soon stop anyone entering the forest. But in practice he only stops and harasses me.

        Is there anything I can do about this?
