    Solution

    In Himachal Pradesh, an organization representing the Hatti community is planning a protest march on December 16, advocating for the enactment of a law granting Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to their community.  The ancestral land of the Hatti community spans the border between Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, encompassing the Giri and Tons River basins, both tributaries of the Yamuna.  The Tons River delineates the boundary between the two states. Historically, the Hattis residing in the Trans-Giri region of present-day Himachal Pradesh and Jaunsar Bawar in Uttarakhand were once part of the royal estate of Sirmaur, with Jaunsar Bawar coming under British control in 1814.  The community operates under the governance of a traditional council known as 'khumbli,' responsible for making decisions on community affairs.
