November 23,2011- The Chief Executive Member (CEM) of Dima Hasao Autonomous Council, Haflong of Assam Debojit Thaosen has ceased the timber illegally collected at Manderdisa, around the 100km from the district Headquarter of Dima Hasao District of Assam on November 23, 2011.
Mention may be made here that such illegal timber trade have
been going on when the Dima Hasao Autonomous Council can not allow such timber
operation after the Supreme Court of India has ban timber operation since some
years back. Due to this, the council has been running in a low profile with
financial problem as it has lost its main revenue from Forest department. This
needs minute discussion and assessment. The Council could not carry out timber
trade due to the ban but illegal felling of trees and illegal timber trade
going on, while the council lost its main source of income, unable to pay even
salary to its employees since the ban of forest operation. Forest are not safe
either. It require second thought.
