💨 Abstract

Tribal and forest rights organizations in Himachal Pradesh have objected to a letter issued by the state's Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, claiming it misinterprets the Forest Rights Act (FRA) and could harm the recognition of rightful forest dwellers. The groups claim the letter goes beyond the forest department's authority and demands its immediate withdrawal.
