Asks DCs, SSPs to fortify forest areas, intensify vigil
SRINAGAR, SEPTEMBER 03: Advisor to
the Governor, Mr. Khurshid Ahmed Ganai, has expressed serious concern over the
unauthorized felling of forest trees in Rafiabad area of Baramulla district and
parts of Budgam district, as reported by a section of media recently.
Calling for a crackdown on those who damage the green reserves, the
Advisor directed the District Magistrates and SSPs of Baramulla and Budgam to
take stringent action against those involved in illegal felling of trees in the
protected forest divisions of the two districts.
Ganai said there is a need to fortify all forest divisions and increase
watch and ward and general vigil to safeguard our forest wealth and to prevent
timber smugglers from damaging our green gold. He directed the DCs of Baramulla
and Budgam to enquire into all the incidents of illegal felling in forest areas
and take strict action including against officials if found involved in
abetting smuggling of timber.
