The VFPC meetings are held on a weekly basis in order to review the protection measures. During the meeting the punishments for offences are finalized, depending on the nature and volume of the offence. The VFPC brings the cases to the gram sabha, where the issue is discussed and punishments are issued. For example, if someone is caught cutting green wood for fuel they would have to pay a fine of Rs 100, which is redirected to the village development fund that is operated by this committee.
Also, in order to make the villagers conscious of their duties towards the forest, the women followed a custom of tying a rakhi (a thread indicating that they have vowed to protect the tree) to the trees.
