Implement Forest Rights Act soon: Aiyar
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Union Panchayati Raj Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has asked all States to expedite implementation of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act and Rules.
In a letter to the Chief Ministers, he has asked them to initiate the process of execution by organising gram sabhas on February 28.
The provisions of the Act and Rules and the role and responsibilities of the gram sabhas should be explained at these meetings. “Well before this, the gram panchayats and members of divisional and district-level committees must understand the entire process and their assigned roles.”
Training must be organised for the sub-divisional committee members and pradhans and other representatives of the panchayati raj institutions much before the date of the meeting of the gram sabhas.
As time-bound action is called for at all levels, the issues of claims, resolving conflicts, documentation and familiarisation should be addressed on priority, he said.
