Protest against Forest Rights Act
Districts with sizeable tribal populations saw several protests and demonstrations, organised by the Bhumi Adhikar Andolan.
Issues
- There were two issues that the demonstrators were decrying:
- One, the proposed amendments to the Indian Forest Act (IFA), 1927; the concerned amendments to the IFA have been sent to states for consultation.
- Two, a move to oust forest-dwellers from forest land.
