Himachal government has been trying to evade implementation of Forest Rights Act since 2008

The Himachal Government has started the drive to evict Schedule Tribes and OTFDs from forest land under the garb of Himachal Pradesh (HP) High Court order as stated under. The hon’ble High Court of HP ordered on dated 18-10-2016 in CWPIL No.17/2014 a/w CWP No.3141/2015, COPC No.161/2012 and CWPIL No.9/2015 to remove encroachment on forest land/ revenue land, more than 10 bighas and to report the progress of eviction on next date of hearing on 15-11-2016.

We have come to know that under this pressure, the forest and revenue departments are launching a huge drive to evict forest dwellers in the state form 1st November 2016 for which internal direction has been given to local officials.
