RECONSIDER DECISION TO CLOSE FOREST RIGHTS CELLS

The New Indian Express Mangaluru

|

February 25, 2026

AST week, the Odisha government dissolved Forest Rights Act (FRA) cells across 12 districts of the state.

A letter to the integrated tribal development agencies and district welfare officers instructed closure of 50 such sub-divisional cells and clearance of all dues by March end. These cells, created under the Centre’s flagship Dharti Aaba Jan-jatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA), aid processing and verification of forest rights claims while assisting in record mapping and digitisation. A key responsibility of these units is also to link beneficiaries to government welfare schemes. Given the extremely critical role these cells play, the decision of the state SC & ST development department is baffling.
