the Forest Conservation Act, 1980, (under which the central government controls forests and gives these to industry) had exasperated the sense of deprivation of forest dwellers, including tribal people. He said the implementation of the Forest Rights Act had ameliorated some the grievance of tribals in many places. However, the recent announcements (of the environment ministry) have conveyed a message that the government is against fair implementation of the Forest Rights Act. This is not desirable in the interest of peace and governance in forest areas, he summed up. --The Tribal Affairs Secretary. business-standard/article/economy-policy/forest-land-govt-finalising-dilution-of-tribal-rights-115010100027_1.html#.VKTRUQj0Yho.twitter
