💨 Abstract

Himachal Pradesh's Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi announced that encroachers on forest lands, ordered to vacate by the High Court, must seek relief from the Supreme Court. The affected individuals can leverage the Forest Rights Act (FRA) 2006, and the government will organize educational workshops about the Act. The state has also sent a resolution to the Union government seeking amendments in the Forest Conservation Act 1980.
