Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy on Monday distributed certificates of titles to tribal representatives hailing from all districts, as part of the implementation of the Recognition of Forest Rights Act, 2006.
In all, 1.28 lakh claims covering 4.44 lakh acres are to be given certificates by June 15. Tribal Welfare Minister P. Balaraju and tribal legislators were present. Coffee, rubber plantations and horticulture schemes are to be taken in the lands.
Still some claims were pending at the sub-divisional and district levels. The Collectors have been instructed to complete the scrutiny of the claims and issuing of certificates to the eligible claimants by the month-end.
The recognition and vesting of forest rights under the Act to the forest dwelling STs in respect of forest land and their habitat will be subject to the condition that they had occupied forest land before December 13, 2005
