Back to Section Stories  Posted On Monday, May 26, 2008 |
With nearly two lakh trees being cut illegally every year across the state, the forest department has finally realised that existing laws and punishment are just not enough to deter culprits.
Henceforth, it intends to press charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder (maximum punishment is 10 years in prison) against people caught cutting trees illegally.
At present, culprits face a maximum jail term of six months and/or fine of Rs 500.
