Uren na de voormalige minister van Milieu Jairam Ramesh beschuldigde het ministerie van het “ondermijnen” van de uitvoering van de Forest Rights Act onder de door Narendra modi geleide regering, heeft het ministerie van Union Environment een verklaring afgegeven en zei dat dergelijke referenties een bruto misverstanden van feiten weerspiegelen “, toegewijd aan de bescherming van bossen, India’s groene dekking en communities die in de buurt van het genoemde gebieden are.”
“In the interest of the struggle of India for a greener future, the imperative individuals have abandoned deliberate wrong information and selective quotation of issues. MOEFCC has made unprecedented attempts to not only increase the green coverage of the country, but also to ensure sustainability for dependent communities,” said it.
The ministry’s statement came to Social Mediaplatform X, where Mr. Ramesh, who was also responsible for the secretary of the congress, made his position, referring to a letter sent to the Prime Minister’s office by more than 150 forest rights and social companions in the entire country.
Legal untenable information
De groepen van het maatschappelijk middenveld, in hun brief van 28 juni, merkten op dat de India State of Forest Report 2023 het verlies van bosbedekking voor de uitvoering van de FRA, die naar verluidt werd herhaald door minister van Milieu, Bhupender Yadav in een media -interview in een media -interview in een media -interview in een media -interview in een media -interview in een media -interview in een media -interview in een media -interview in een Media interview this has also been applied incorrectly. They also quoted an order from June 2024 with around 65,000 families from Tiger reserves and claimed that the Ministry has submitted “legally untenable” data to parliamentary forums and the National Green Tribunal. They further claimed that the 2023 amendments in the Forest (Conservation) ACT 1980, “Bulldozed by parliament” and that Van Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan rules 2023, “had an adverse effect on both the quantity and quality of forests.”
In a detailed position, refuting these allegations, the Ministry of Environment, forests and climate change said: “The declaration of the Minister of Environment, forests and climate change as quoted in the social media is roughly displayed, distorted, represented in a piece of emeal and is entirely out of context.”
The ministry said that Mr Yadav’s statement in the media interview in reference to the “net increase in forest covering in the country according to the last state of the forest report, whereby relegation in some forest areas has also been observed for various reasons.” “The statement (minister) underlines that such a relegation in the forest cover can be tackled by taking protection measures that are implemented with effective involvement of the community,” said it.
It added that the minister’s statement was “about raising the forest cover and stopping the relegation of forests through active involvement of the local community” and government agencies, and further said that this “context” “” completely undermined, was overlooked and was misunderstood in the tweet. “
GOVT .’s bad track record
In the position of Mr. Rameh, he said that the issues discussed by the groups of civil society are also of ‘fundamental importance’ for ecological safety, and adds: ‘The track record of the Modi Government does not inspire the confidence that these issues will even be discussed and debate with those who are forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced to be forced.
“The allegations that are made that MOEFCC submits legally untenable information about attack on different forums are completely incorrect, unfounded and have no merit,” the ministry said. It continued to say that the point of deportation of families from tiger reserves was ‘devoid of merit and wrong representation’, which further refers to the exercise as ‘voluntary relocation’, which is governed by respective laws and procedures.
The Ministry continued to say that the recently published Forest Survey of India report actually recorded a “substantial increase in forest and tree covering”, said it was “suggestive” for the involvement of communities. “The drawn conclusion is contrary to the actual position and completely devoid of merit,” the ministry added.
About accusations of changes in the Forest Conservation Act and the subsequent rules, the government said that they were made “without an in -depth knowledge and understanding” of the provisions of the law. It insisted that the amendment was applied “according to fixed constitutional processes” and with “appropriate parliamentary procedures”.
The Ministry added that his “genuine efforts” to involve members of the community in forest management were also overlooked, with reference to his work to bring Taru Tribals in Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (UP) and with Soliga Tribals in Karnataka in Karnataka in Karnataka that “a very”. It added that the government is dedicated to ensure “well -being and active involvement” of forest management of tribal communities by using their “traditional knowledge and wisdom”.
