ACHHAM, Nov 8: The trend of cultivating crops by encroaching public forest land is visible in Dhungachalna VDC of Achham.
Some people of the area have cleaned up Amar Community Forest in Agnikhola and started cultivating crops against frequent request by local users committee.[break]
‘The anti-social work of encroaching forest land is still continued despite making several requests’, informed Chairperson of Amar Community Forest Users Committee, Moti Singh Budha.
Though the Committee has lodged complaint against the encroachment drive at District Forest Office, Mangalsen and Area Forest Office, Dhakari, the authorizes concerned have not heed any attention in this regard, Budha added.
