In Trashigang Dzongkhag,
conflict between community forest
members from Phongmey Gewog and
a nomadic group from Merak gewog has erupted over forest boundary. The forest
(229.47 hectares), which shares boundary with Merak gewog, was declared
community forest in 2008 but prior to this nomad had leased it for grazing
purpose. Furthermore, the situation
worsened after the nomads were fined by the community forest members whose animals
were found grazing inside the forest.
The nomads are planning to take the issue to the court, if the gewog
authorities fail to find a solution.
