SWGH DC bans felling of trees, killing of wildlife

AMPATI: The Deputy Commissioner of South West Garo Hills has prohibited any activity which can lead to the destruction of catchment areas in the district including the felling of trees and killing of wildlife.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Deputy Commissioner, Ramkumar S, stated that the prohibitory order was necessitated due to wanton destruction of flora and fauna by individuals and groups which would evidently result in the destruction of catchment areas if unchecked.
The statement further declared that the prohibitory order would come into force with immediate effect in the entire district until further notice.
