At a time, when the Assam State Police department has been observing 'Operation Green Earth Project' throughout the State with the help of other government and non-governmental social and nature organisations, conscious citizens of Udalguri area expected that the illegal felling of valuable logs by antisocial elements would come to a (temporary) end, but ignoring all such government efforts to check the deforestation process, the felling of valuable trees in and around Indo-Bhutan foothills and Assam-Arunachal foothills has been going on unabated and it is feared that the whole region would become denuded in the near future.
