Diglipur, Dec 09: Two Ashoka Trees, which were standing tall in front of the Forest office of Diglipur for more than 12 years, have been ordered to cut down by the Deputy Forest Officer, Diglipur for unknown reasons.
The trees which were standing tall all these years were the main attraction of office, and were also adding charm to the office. Not only this, the DFO has also allegedly put the timber on sale at office at the rate of Rs.435.00 per Lot. Sadly no one knows in which account the amount is deposited. One lot is already sold while other lots still remain at the office. The forest department generally encourages people to grow trees but what prompted the DFO to cut down these trees, is still a mystery.
