What is happening in auroville?

Auroville looks completely torn up—what happened to the "no deforestation" principles there? What's the deal with this artificial lake? And all these newly laid roads, along with talks of building walls around Auroville to keep outsiders out—who exactly are these outsiders? Nearby villagers? How does that align with the idea of a friendly community? Auroville was already deeply corrupt, and ever since the BJP got involved, everything seems to be falling apart.
