Nagpur: Adding a Twist to Claims About Felling Trees in the Milda-Paoni-Paoni-Paoni-Paoni-Paoni Wildlife Suaka Compartment in the South Umred Forest, PCCF (Wildlife) Sunil Limaye has reopened this case and look for new reports.
In March 2021, the joint committee of nine members of wildlife and territorial forests had concluded that tree logging had occurred on the railway and not in the sanctuary compartment.
In a letter aimed at the complainant, Wildlife Warden Warden Roheet Karoo on July 17, Limaye said, “Because the committee report set for tree logging probes in the compartment of the protection is unclear, a new report has been searched.” Karoo, who is also Secretary of the Wildlife Conservation & Development Center (WCDC), has last submitted a complaint about the logging of nearly 450 trees in the compartment number 1439, 1417, and 1418.
Logging was carried out after Umred RFO gave permission to Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (Maharail) for the work conversion work-nagbhid.
Karoo even issued a composite notification to the Ministry of Forestry below Section 55 (c) Wildlife Protection Act (WPA), 1972, and Section 19 of the 1986 Environmental Protection Act (EPA), alleged that the Maharail cut down trees in the holy place compartment And let out a tiger corridor.
“We will take action if it was found that the tree was cut down in the sanctuary.
I have issued a clue to the APCCF (Wildlife) HS Hoba and look for reports in 15 days,” said Limaye to Ti on Friday.
However, Petyan Kumar, CCF (Nagpur), was not aware of the decision.
He said, “More than two months after the probe, the committee of the nine members has concluded that logging trees do not occur above the place of protection or territorial forest soil but in the area owned by the train.
There is no ambiguity in the report.” According to Kumar, the basic controversy is whether logging is done in the sanctuary.
“This happens when the boundaries near the disputed area are not limited when holy is notified on June 29, 2012.
Now, I don’t see problems in logging,” he said.
Director of CCF & Penh Field Ravikir Govekar also said that logging was carried out on the land of the train according to the documents of the timber extract, and it was not a protection compartment.
“However, it is true that logging has been done in the Tiger corridor,” Govekar said.
Claim Claim Committee, said Karoo, “the train does not have paper to show trees or soils that are cut down.
If it’s the right decision, why is wood not allowed to be lifted up?” According to Karoo, the logging of trees has been going on not only in the environmental sensitive zone But also in a tiger corridor between Umred-Karhandla and Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR).
“For such cases, PCCF is a competent authority.
Wildlife officials are not trusted by RFO together before issuing tree logging permits,” he said.
According to the information received under RTI, there are no proper procedures such as Gram Pan Panchayat NOC, Maharashtra Rights to Public Service Law, 2015 (Seva Hami Kayda), Document Verification If the land or tree trees belong to the train etc.
are followed when granting logging permission by Territorial officials.
