The Chhattisgarh State Scheduled Tribe Commission (CGSST) has investigated the Gram Sabha proposals for forest approval of the Parsa Coal Block in the Hasdeo forest area and found them to be obtained through fraudulent means.

The Commission has called for the cancellation of the forest clearance and termed the proposals as fake and fabricated. This marks a significant victory for the tribes and forest-dependent communities in the region, who have been protesting against the land diversion for years. Representatives of Hasdeo Arand Bachao Sangharsh Samiti demanded immediate cancellation of forest clearance and cancellation of mining lease and alleged that Chhattisgarh Government is working under the influence of Adani Company and brutally harming the interest of forest dwellers and as well as tribals encroaching the PESA act.

If the forest clearance of Parsa coal mines gets cancelled, the major beneficiary company RRVUNL and especially Adani Company working in these mines as Mines Developer and Operator is going to get impacted from the decision.
