The settlement locations were disforested, but agricultural holdings were established with minimal disafforestation. |
|
When the disafforestation took place, the local people lost any rights they had in the Forest, even the right to walk. |
|
Hence it was recommended that disafforestation must be allowed after obtaining legal sanction of the commission to check the depletion and degradation of forest areas. |
|
Sir Miles Fleetwood was sent to commission the disafforestation and division of lands being used in common. |
|
Disafforestation frequently caused riots and disturbances including those known as the Western Rising. |
