     At the time of Garhwali king, there was less conflict between government agencies and villagers about the use of forest and forest products in Garhwal.  However, with the forest administration regulation by Trail (1826), the conflict between villagers and administration started.  Later on Tihri Garhwal king also started regulating the village land into government land for forest the conflict in Tihri Riyasat became evident.  

  The conflicts between villagers and government for forest uses by people, malpractices by selfish interest for forest products, fire in the forest by intentional, unintentional or ignorance  had been there from the day  Trail  brought forest regulation . There had been the questions from that day that what are the best ways to defuse the conflicts that forests develop and people e get their dues too.

    Garhwali Drama ‘Ramu Patrol’ (1998) tries to answer some of questions. Uttarakhand Forest department Gopeshwar staged the awareness Drama about Forest Need, Deforestation, Forestation, Forest Protection and Protecting Eco-System in 1998 in Gopeshwar.  Ganesh Bhatt and Abbal Singh Khatri directed ‘Ramu Patrol’ drama about forest need, deforestation, forestation, forest protection and protecting eco-system.

  There incidents about need of the forest produces for the needy ones, there incidents of need of forest for income to poor class, there events of people who believe government should not own the forest, there are forest mafia taking benefits of conflicts between governing agencies and villagers and there is worries in the forest department to keep forest developing and at the same time people should be satisfied too by getting benefits of developed and protected forests.

  Thought, the drama is for awareness program but Ghansala uses his dramatic capability in choosing the events, incidents and proper dialogues that drama does not look like preaching drama but audience enjoys the drama.
