TCN which was closed for the past 17 years because of political interference has now started to sell the timber.[break]
TCN Branch Office Kanchanpur´s Assistant Manager Khemraj Joshi said the timber was sold as per the central policy of providing timber to the consumers in fair prices.
The TCN has hired Roshan Kiran Saw Mill for sawing timber at Aithpur of Bhimdutta Municipality for selling timber in cheap prices. TCN´s own mill run on diesel is, however, closed.
According to Joshi, consumers can buy timber at Rs. 500 to Rs 1,000 per cu ft. from the depot. The market price for timber per cu. ft. is, however, Rs 3,000- 3,500.
This year, TCN had bought 35,000 cu. ft. of timber to sell, and one who wants to buy will have to submit house map, citizenship and land ownership office at the office.
The Regional Office of TCN will provide 25- 50 cu. ft of timber as per the need, said Joshi.
The Majhgaun Saw Mill of TCN was closed in 2055 BS and is now re-operated, but the Gaddhachauki saw mill has been closed.
