In a report given to Ministry of
forest and soil conservation, Commission for the Investigation of the Abuse of
Authority (CIAA) has underlined involvement of ministers, forest officers in
deforestation and their nexus with timber smugglers. CIAA has also emphasized the need for
effective monitoring of community forests across the country. Similarly, four
assistant forest officers have been suspended for their involvement in rampant
deforestation in the five community forests in Kanchanpur and Dadeldhura
districts.
