The Forest Department has submitted a proposal to the State Government to enhance funds for families voluntarily opting to relocate from the forests.
The relocation pertains to families living inside sanctuaries and national parks that are non-tiger reserves and the proposal is under review.
At present the relocation exercise offers two options for the beneficiaries. Under option 1, the entire package amount of ₹ 10 lakh per family is disbursed if the family opts for it and does not involve any rehabilitation and relocation process.
