HP groups join forest rights groups; reject draft national forest policy

Solan, Apr 17 (UNI) Dismissing the Draft National Forest Policy over certain vital issues, members of the Himachal Van Adhikar Manch said the Union government should restrain on 'production forestry' and allowing the entry of private companies in forestry projects for commercial plantations.
The submission to this effect has been made to the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC), after the ministry sought the comments and suggestions recently.
Strikingly important in this draft policy is the absence of the perspective and recognition that was taken in the Forest Rights Act 2006, which seeks to address the historical injustice inflicted on the Adivasis and other forest dwellers, through the colonisation of the forest.
