Environmental organisations have urged the government to take legal action against those involved in the felling of rosewood trees on a Revenue land at Krishnagiri in Wayanad district.
Wayanad Prakruthi Samrakshana Samiti president N. Badusha told the media that 13 gigantic rosewood trees had been axed at Malamthottam near Krishnagiri after illegally obtaining permit from the Forest department to fell as many as 36 trees.
The incident came to light after a farmer lodged a complaint with the Sulthan Bathery Tahsildar recently.
