Chipko movement is a movement started in May 30,1968 which was found by Sunderlal Bahuguna.On 1st February 1978, the contractor who bought the forest on auction came forward with two contingents of armed police to take up possession. The poor tribal were allured and tempted in various ways. Nevertheless, each tree was being guarded by a set of three women clinging to it. The contractor and the armed police were forced to retreat.
The assaults, however, continued and in fact were getting intensified. Sundarlal Bahuguna joined the fasting. Bahuguna was arrested on the eleventh day. Thousands of people rushed in on getting the news. The police force was compelled to retreat.
