The NWFP government (Pakistan) has not been able to notify draft rules of the Forest Ordinance, 2002, even after two years of the promulgation of the new law, official sources said. The new law that repealed four of the previous legislative pieces governing forest areas in the NWFP was promulgated through an ordinance by the governor in June 2002. However, even after two years of its promulgation the provincial environment department had not been able to notify complete set of draft rules, the sources said.
