Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Not Gujjars, but the Gaddi shepherds who belong to Himachal Pradesh, moved north by April to spend their summer in Lahaul and Spiti, districts of Himachal Pradesh. They would sow summer crops there and wait for the snow to melt so that mountain passes were precise and they could quickly proceed to the meadows of higher mountains. The higher cliffs would be teeming with rich vegetation. They started their return movement to the winter grazing ground of the lower hills of the Siwalik range in September, stopping once again at Lahaul and Spiti on their way down. Summer crops were harvested, winter crops were sowed, and sheep were sheared on their stoppage. This whole process was repeated the following year.
The correct statement would be that the Gaddi moved north and spent the summer in Lahaul and Spiti by April.
