Ensure forest rights reach every eligible family: Rana
Srinagar, Oct 23: Minister for Jal Shakti, Forest, Ecology & Environment and Tribal Affairs, Javed Ahmed Rana, on Friday inaugurated the 3rd Regional Review Conference on the implementation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006, organised by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India, in Srinagar. Addressing the conference, Rana emphasised the need for effective and meaningful implementation of the Forest Rights Act to ensure that the rights and entitlements of tribal communities and other traditional forest dwellers are protected. He said the Act is an important legislation aimed at recognising the legitimate rights of forest-dependent communities, safeguarding their livelihoods and ensuring their dignity and socio-economic empowerment. The Minister observed that strenuous efforts are required to strengthen the implementation mechanism and ensure that eligible beneficiaries receive the rights guaranteed under the legislation. Rana said the Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, has taken important steps towards strengthening implementation of the Act, including designating the Tribal Affairs Department as the nodal department for its implementation in Jammu and Kashmir. He stressed that the Forest Rights Act must be understood as a legal entitlement of eligible forest-dwelling communities and that its benefits should reach every deserving family through a transparent and accessible process. He said that while conferences at the national and regional levels provide valuable opportunities for reviewing progress and sharing experiences, their real purpose can only be achieved when the knowledge, decisions and recommendations emerging from such deliberations reach the communities at the grassroots level. The Minister also called for greater coordination among the Tribal Affairs, Revenue, Forest and Rural Development Departments, along with district administrations, to ensure smooth implementation and timely resolution of pending matters. He underlined that the disposal of claims must be fair and transparent and that no eligible beneficiary should be deprived of legitimate rights due to procedural difficulties or lack of awareness. Highlighting the contribution of tribal communities, particularly the Gujjar and Bakarwal communities, Rana said that these communities have shared a close relationship with forests for generations and have contributed significantly to the preservation of traditional knowledge, natural resources and ecological balance. He said that recognising forest rights and protecting the environment are complementary responsibilities and must be pursued together through a balanced and people-oriented approach. The Minister further emphasised that the recommendations and experiences shared during the conference should be properly documented and made available to field-level officers so that they can be translated into practical improvements in implementation. The conference was attended by Anant Prakash Pandey, Union Joint Secretary, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, senior officers of the Ministry, representatives from participating States and senior officials of the Jammu and Kashmir Government. During the technical sessions, detailed discussions were held on the status of pending forest rights claims, recognition of individual and community forest rights, habitat rights, incorporation of recognised forest rights in revenue and forest records, digitisation of FRA records and the proposed National FRA Portal. Representatives from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir shared their experiences, progress and practices relating to the implementation of the Act. The conference concluded with deliberations on improving implementation mechanisms, strengthening institutional coordination and taking forward the recommendations for ensuring that the objectives of the Forest Rights Act are achieved in letter and spirit.

Ktaka: Shivakumar reveals suspected sting bid using Meta glasses
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has alleged that an industrialist who met him wearing Meta AI smart glasses may have been attempting to record their conversation as part of a suspected sting operation targeting him and Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. In an interview with a prominent Kannada television channel recently, Shivakumar said he became suspicious when the industrialist, who had obtained an appointment through government officials, shifted the conversation from business to political strategies, including booth-level management and political developments. God has given me power. When they came to conduct a sting operation on me, nobody told me about it. In my experience, if I look at someone's face, I can figure out why they have come to meet me and what is on their mind, Shivakumar said. He said he meets thousands of people every day and believes he can read their intentions from their faces. Recalling the meeting, he said the industrialist initially spoke about business, as expected, but subsequently took him to an antechamber and opened a laptop. He should have spoken to me about business, but he started discussing politics. He explained how booth-level strategies worked and spoke about what they were doing and other political matters. He went on explaining things like a political psephologist. I looked at his face and became suspicious. I then noticed his spectacles, which raised further doubts, Shivakumar said. He said he subsequently directed officials to examine the individual's background and gather information about his meetings with other political leaders. According to Shivakumar, the background check revealed that the industrialist had worn Meta smart glasses during meetings with him and Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan, but not during meetings with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and a Union Minister. He also referred to a meeting with an IT Minister, during which the individual allegedly did not wear the glasses. He wore the Meta glasses only when he came to V.D. Satheesan and me, Shivakumar said, citing the information gathered during the background check as the basis for his suspicion. However, Shivakumar did not name the industrialist or provide public evidence establishing that the glasses had been used to record either meeting. He also did not disclose the identities of the people allegedly involved in the suspected operation. The Chief Minister said he had obtained documents and maintained records relating to the episode. He indicated that he would disclose further details at an appropriate time. I knew who had been given the task. I have obtained documents and kept records. Not now. When the time comes, I will speak about it. This is not the time to discuss the matter, he said. Asked why no action had been taken against those allegedly involved in the sting operation, Shivakumar rejected the suggestion that the authorities had remained inactive. Who said no action has been taken? You just don't know. We are not disclosing it, that's all. We have taken all precautionary measures, he said. He maintained that the government had taken steps in response to the suspected operation but declined to provide details of the measures or any action initiated. Shivakumar further alleged that there was a plan to conduct sting operations targeting ministers in his Cabinet and warned that attempts could be made to entrap them through people working around them, telephone calls or other means. He said he had cautioned his Cabinet colleagues to remain vigilant and avoid falling into such traps. I knew that there was a plan to carry out sting operations against ministers around me. I knew who had been given the task. I indeed cautioned my Cabinet colleagues. As the head of the government, which is like a family, I had to tell them not to get trapped. What's wrong with that? he said. Shivakumar reiterated that he had informed the ministers as a precautionary measure and would reveal further information only when he considered the time appropriate. He maintained that he had documented the episode and possessed information about those who might have been involved, but said he would not disclose the names or records at this stage. The allegations have raised questions about the suspected use of wearable technology in political meetings. However, the Chief Minister's account, as presented in the interview, did not establish that the smart glasses had actually recorded conversations or that a sting operation had been conclusively carried out.
