National parks and forest reserves in the country are becoming an issue of rural social conflict and the inclusion of considerable area as "indigenous land" in these parks with consequent prohibition on grazing and ban on use of non-forest timber produce is affecting the livelihood systems, according to NGOs . The issue has gained focus with the attempts by authorities of the proposed Rajaji National Park combining the territories of Chill, Motichur and Rajiji sanctuaries, to evict one of the few surviving pastoral Muslim tribes from their habitation in the forests of Shivalk hills in Uttar Pradesh.
