    DPAP concerned over deforestation in Chenab Valley

    Srinagar, May 29: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) has expressed concern over unabated deforestation in Chenab Valley which is causing landslides, land sinking, and soil erosion.

    In a statement issued to State observer, a DPAP spokesperson urged LG Manoj Sinha to take cognizance of the serious environmental issue which has taken place due to large scale felling of trees in the Chenab valley by timber smugglers.

    The spokesperson quoted reports of tree felling from Chirala Range of Bhaderwah Forest Division as police seized illegally extracted green cedar trees from Lohar Thawa, Sundar Goth, Draman Gad, Kutta and Chirala areas.

    “Scores of machines are being used by timber smugglers in Chirala area where large-scale tree felling is being witnessed by locals,” said the spokesperson adding that deforestation is impacting the environment of the entire Chenab Valley.
