Staff union alleges that the move is to protect higher officials having a nexus with the timber lobby
Resentment is brewing among forest staff organisations in the district against the alleged move of the Forest Department to protect higher officials by punishing the front-line forest staff in connection with the felling of rosewood trees at Muttil in the district. The Chief Conservator of Forest (Northern circle) on Monday suspended two front-line forest staff, including a Section Forest Officer and a Beat Forest Officer of the South Wayanad forest division, in connection with the incident.More Related News
