"We are respecting the rights of tribes and disbursing the pattas to the farmers, who have been carrying out agriculture cultivation in the forest and government lands for the past few decades. The Chief minister directed the forest and revenue officials to take all steps to protect the rights of tribes. So thousands of farmers could get the pattas under the schemes," she said.
