Keonjhar: The residents of Gobindpur, a peaceful locality in our town, are currently up in arms against a proposed plan to cut down 12 ancient mango trees. The person behind this controversial move is a member of Ward No-11, who is known to have a lot of influence in our community. The locals are outraged that the Forest Department has granted permission to this individual to take down these trees. They firmly believe that instead of cutting down trees, we should be focusing on planting more to help our environment thrive.
In fact, the residents have taken this matter to the District Collector, Vishal Singh, by filing a written complaint expressing their strong opposition to this plan. The letter, which has been signed by 60 people, also raises concerns about the alleged illegal transfer of government land to the influential individual. Upon receiving this complaint, Singh has directed the Tehsildar to launch an investigation and submit a detailed report to him. This has been confirmed by some of the locals.
One of the residents, Kalia Munda, has brought to light the fact that the mango orchard in question is actually situated on government land. He rightly questions how the land, which belongs to the state, could be registered under the name of an individual. Munda has demanded a thorough investigation into this fraudulent transaction. There have been rumors that such malpractices have occurred in the past, where government land has been wrongly transferred to the names of influential people.
The other residents of Gobindpur are also taken aback by the decision of the Forest Department to allow the cutting of these 12 trees. They have pointed out that there are several other trees that are considered unsafe, but no precautions are being taken by the department. Environmentalist Bhakta Batshal Mohanty has also expressed his concerns about the increasing global temperatures and has stressed on the importance of planting more trees instead of cutting them down. He has also blamed the officials of the Forest Department for allowing this situation to arise.
In conclusion, the residents of Gobindpur have one major request - a thorough examination of all government land deals to uncover any dubious transactions and to ensure the protection of trees at all costs. They firmly believe that it is our responsibility to preserve and protect the environment for future generations.
