After a decade long wait forest rightholders in Himachal's tribal District Kinnaur see a ray of hope as the District level committee Kinnaur initiates the process of claim verification by recommending 5 individual rights claims. #forestrights #HimachalPradesh #tribal

The move is historic because the govt & district administration were peddling a narrative against individual forest rights claimants as being ineligible & unlawful encroachers. A spate of protests held in the region in last few yrs have demanded both individual & community rights

A team of the Himdhara Environment Research & Action Collective, which has been documenting the environmental impact of mega development projects in #HimachalPradesh, visited Jharauta village in Chamba on Jan 3 & 4 to verify report of landslides & seepage hindustantimes.com/cities/chandig…

आदिवासियों को उजाड़, कंपनियों को हमारे जंगल बेचना बंद करो! अडानी के खदान के लिए आदिवासियों पर दमन नहीं चलेगा! Jagrit Adivasi Dalit Sangathan, हसदेव आरण्य के संरक्षण और अपने संवैधानिक अधिकारों के लिए संघर्षरत साथियों के साथ खडा है और CMO Chhattisgarh से तुरंत अवैध कार्यवाही रोकने की मांग करता है !

NTPC hiding behind use of tunnel boring machines (TBM) to wash hands off #Joshimath disaster. TBMs have failed in minimising hazards in Himalayan #Hydropwer projects. In #Himachal the 800MW Parbati Project has been under construction for over 20yrs.Tunnel facing seepages!

This is atrocious! Working committee must take immediate action. In solidarity!
