Tussle between forest dept, Panchayat Raj in Nirmal

Deccan Chronicle  

ADILABAD: A tussle between the officials of the forest department and Nirmal district collector Musharaff Farooqui Ali that had been simmering for the past month took an ugly turn with the sealing of the Kadam forest range officer's office by panchayat raj authorities. Forest officials staged a protest over the sealing of FRO office demanding the immediate handing over of the office to the forest department and assured to clear the dues if the government-sanctioned the funds. Trouble began when the forest officials refused permission for the construction of Kreeda Pranganalu, Smashana Vatikalu and Haritha Vanalu in 34 villages of Kadam and Pembi mandals in Nirmal district. Additionally, it is rumoured that the district collector was unhappy with the forest department employees for not providing him with a four-wheel drive jeep on his recent visit to the Kadam mandal, which is what led to the punitive action of sealing the forest reserver officer’s office.
