Gurudurupi village is in Kalahandi district of Odisha. Under the Forest Rights Act, village residents have received Community Forest Rights titles over 170.92 acres of land. The village also has 14 residents who are Individual Forest Rights title holders. The conflict started when the forest department carried out plantations in the entire area claimed under CFR and fenced it off. This restricted title holders from using the forest land. The forest department, they state, did not even consult the gram sabha before carrying out plantations. When LCW contacted villagers in May 2021, they said that no further plantation has been done in the village.
