RECONSIDER DECISION TO CLOSE FOREST RIGHTS CELLS

The New Indian Express Coimbatore

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.
