NEW DELHI: The government on Thursday emphasised that village relocation from core areas of tiger reserves is "purely voluntary in nature".
The information was shared by Minister of State for Environment Kirti Vardhan Singh in the Rajya Sabha in response to a question.
Singh said the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has issued guidelines for incentivised voluntary village relocation programme in notified core/critical habitats of tiger reserves under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, read with the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
He said the village relocation is "purely voluntary in nature and inter alia provides for community facilities like access roads, irrigation and drinking water".
