TURA: Opposition MDCs in the GHADC on Wednesday strongly opposed the decision taken by the NPP led EC to cut timber from the reserved forests for auctioning in a bid to pay the pending salaries of its employees.
The MDCs stated that GHADC being the protector of land, forest, culture and tradition, selling the property of Garo Hills by it was unacceptable and condemnable.
“Being leaders who are responsible for protecting the environment, they should instead encourage the people to plant more trees. But the NPP led EC is setting the wrong example.
