Almost all the states and UTs in India are affected by it, in varying degrees including all sectors of trade and industry and all segments of society. The tribes are no exception especially this being the peak season for NTFP in many regions," said Pravir Krishna, MD, TRIFED, in the letter.The letter said it is necessary to think in advance about certain precautionary measures to be taken to protect all, especially tribal-gatherers."The states have communicated the key points which are illustrative and not exhaustive.
