Forest Department Launches Bamboo Plantation Drive

Mondaypet, July 30: When the Forest Department was about to plant bamboo by digging holes in the Honneru Bailu area of ​​Koothi ​​village under the jurisdiction of Tholurushettalli Gram Panchayat in the taluk, an incident took place today when the villagers stopped it and questioned the Forest Department officials and took them to task.

Without giving any prior information to the villagers, the work of digging holes and planting bamboo was started by saying that the Honneru Bailu area belonged to the Forest Department. After the villagers came to know about the matter, they rushed to the spot and immediately stopped the work and insisted that the superior officer should come to the spot immediately. After that, the villagers took the DCF Abhishek, Assistant Conservator of Forests Naveen, Somwarpet Zonal Forest Officer Mallesh, Deputy Zonal Forest Officer Kiran and the staff who arrived at the spot to the rescue.

Speaking on the occasion, Raitha Horata Samiti President K.B. Suresh said that the Forest Department is acting in a way that is inciting the local farmers. There is no Section-4 in Koothi ​​village. If there was, the villagers should have been given a notice, he said. The Forest Department should not cause any trouble to the farmers until the government asks for time. First, a joint survey should be conducted and then further action should be taken. The villagers have already submitted an application under Sections 50 and 53. After examining it, the Forest Department officials should come to the village, he said.

Somwarpet Taluk President of the Farmers' Association K.M. Dinesh said that the work of removing the pits and planting the trees was carried out using a Hitachi machine without giving any information to the villagers and the village committee. Even after asking for a copy of the order, the officials did not give it. He expressed dissatisfaction that it is strange that the Forest Department, which did not respond when the problem of wild animals arose, has now suddenly taken such action.

Responding to this, DCF Abhishek said that a joint survey will be conducted. After promising that a report will be given to the government, the officials left the place. On this occasion there were many villagers including Prakash, Jitendra, Dinesh, Darshan, Vijay, Lohit, Vinod Kumar.
