As the state is working on bringing out its first-ever environment policy, environmentalists working in Himachal have expressed concern over increasing activities of hydro-power production, cement industries and indiscriminate mining and have asked the state for a serious review while framing the policy. Activists have suggested to the government to hold wider discussion on the framing of an environment policy and carbon credit project so that a dialogue with stakeholders and community is ensured. The activists, under Himalaya Niti Abhiyaan Samiti, have written to the Chief Minister to involve them as well as the communities in a debate over the policy. The Samiti has asked the government to ensure community participation in forestry so that benefits of carbon credit policy trickle down to the communities.
