| NC govt responsible for forest loot: PDP | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Dec 16:Condemning the wanton loot of forests, Peoples Democratic Party Friday
accused the NC led government of plundering the states precious forest
resources for its own personal purposes by facilitating unbridled
cutting of trees across the valley which can snowball into a major
ecological disaster in the Valley.
In a press communiqué, Former Minister and senior leader Qazi Mohammed
Afzal said the NC government’s Shoeshine approach to curb forest loot
is symptomatic of it being hand in glove with unscrupulous elements
that are hell bent to vandalise the forests and bruise the beauty of
this valley. This government has only ensured a free hand to the nexus
of officials and timber smuggling mafia in every part of Kashmir, he
added.
Referring to the recent forest conservation policy, Qazi said that
despite having framed the first ever policy on conservation of forests
the NC led government has not been able to implement even its 10 per
cent which apparently suggests that forest loot is going with the
blessings of NC government and its beneficiaries.
The wanton loot of forests has already started to show its effects in
parts of Kashmir, which is facing severe shortage of water for
irrigation and drinking purposes, the statement said. The nexus of
officials and timber mafia under the “watchful eye” of government has
been running riot in the valley forests chopping off green gold with
impunity and ferrying it unhindered for sale. “Where has this timber
gone, into whose home has this timber gone?” He questioned.
The plight of forests is symptomatic of anti-people polices of NC
Government similar to the selling of feasible water projects to
outside state, rampant corruption, mis-governance and humongous
unemployment, he added.
