The Hindu
Wayanad District Collector Adeela Abdulla on Friday suspended A. Ajikumar, village officer of Muttil South village, in connection with the felling of centuries-old rosewood trees from private plantations within the village limits by flouting all norms.
Mr. Ajikumar was suspended for his failure to execute an order of the Collector. According to a government order issued on October 20, 2020, farmers having title deeds can cut all categories of trees, except sandalwood grown on the plot, Ms. Adeela Abdulla told The Hindu. However, centuries-old trees on patta land reserved to the government were not allowed to be felled.
