The eastern districts of Nagaland are facing environmental degradation as "miscreants" join hands with jhum cultivators spelling doom for the lush green forests of the area, official sources said.Official sources and public leaders said fires set by jhum cultivators to clear land forest blazes by miscreants have almost destroyed the green in the two adjoining districts of Mon and Tuensang and Meluri sub-division under Phek district.
