Himachal Minister Calls for Land Rights to Reduce Migration from Tribal Areas
Himachal Pradesh's Tribal Development and Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi emphasized the need to amend land reform laws to grant tribal residents rights to Nautor forest land, aiming to curb migration and boost local economic activities like horticulture. The state government has sought the Governor's approval for these changes, but the matter remains pending for nearly three years. An 'Adhikar Yatra' is underway to raise awareness and mobilize tribal communities, potentially leading to a protest at Raj Bhavan. The minister highlighted limited employment opportunities and cited Supreme Court rulings urging timely decisions on pending proposals.
