Hundred of woods logs are found on the road side which were cut a fresh is open to all and then one can well imagine the position in the remote area.
Govt. is making tall claims of checking and suspending the officers and officers found absent or negligently performing their duties, but what about such a lapse, he lamented. Forest department need to have an eagle's eye only than the existing forests could be saved.
Sudarshan Choudhary claimed he has reports that anti-social elements have nexus with the bricks Kiln owners with whose help they are easily minting money.
Rules provide that a land owner has to seek a permission from the concerned authorities to cut a tree from his own land. But the govt. seems to be sleeping over it.
Choudhary warned the authorities to wake up and act against such elements before it is too late. Mera Mandrian is one of the instance, but the ruthless cutting is going on un-abated right from Kathua to Poonch, he said. |
