Forest officials at Golapara district in Assam are
raising hue and cry about the rise in timber smuggling activities in the
district forest. With no presence of
Assam Forest Protection Force, they have failed to curb the illegal
deforestation activities. According to District Forest Officer, every month the
forest department seizes 10-12 trucks loaded with illegal timber. In another
news, after a herd of raging elephants killed one woman and damaged more than
twelve houses in Nahorchola village of Numaligarh area of Golaghat district in
Assam, angry mob physically assaulted three forest guards for failing to rescue
them from the attack.
