Tribals survey
The proposed survey of tribals residing in Nagarahole reserve forest must be completed by December. The facility must be given to them.
Bopaiah said “NGOs who mislead tribals should be kept away from the survey. There is a need to provide permanent solution to the tribals” and added that the officials must try to provide title deeds to all tribals under Forest Rights Act.
“We can not give 10 acre land to the tribals. However, the tribals should survive and the forest should be preserved,” Bopaiah added.

Three Tahsildars should estimate the damage and submit the report to the Deputy Commissioner at the earliest.
