Chhattisgarh government reinstates the role of the forest department to coordinate claims that are to be filed by communities, according to the basic structure and procedures laid out in law

    “There is no doubt that this order is against the law and betrays the FRA 2006 in its letter and spirit. The state government of Chhattisgarh is bound to take this illegal order back. The rollback of this order would be a classic example of how over-dependence and confidence on bureaucracy can taint the image of the government.”

What this author wrote on June 01 can be seen to find credence in the amended order published by the Chhattisgarh government on the late evening of June 1, 2020.

This amended order has withdrawn the previous clause of notifying the forest department as the ‘nodal agency’ for the implementation of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.

This order has reinstated the role of the forest department to coordinate claims that are to be filed by communities, according to the basic structure and procedures laid out in law.

Alok Shukla, convenor of Chhattisgarh Bachao Andolan, has welcomed this move of amending the previous order. He said: “The state government, through this order, has not only respected the spirit of the Forest Rights Act, but also clearly explained the roles and responsibilities of the forest department.”
