ILLEGAL LOGGING
Earlier it was "Green Forests are Nepal's Wealth", now it is "Green Forests are TCN's Wealth", TCN stands for the Timber Corporation of Nepal. Thanks to the politicians, the state-owned entity now has a virtual monopoly over the nation's forest resources. Now, environmentalists, bureaucrats, journalists and other eminent personalities are up in arms against the government's decision to empower TCN, which they say openly flouts existing laws.
