Unabated deforestation at Mahamaya-Rangamati forest area
The Mahamaya forest area, once a resourceful and dense forest area in the district of Dhubri is on the way to silent anhilation due to the activities of some unscruplous forest officials and workers. The area is witnessing large scale deforestation due to the felling of trees, which is also resulting in depletion of the flora and fauna, all of which is attributable to the activities of the timber smugglers. Unfortunately these smugglers operate under the very eyes of the officials of the Forest Department.
