Environmental organisations in Wayanad district have alleged that Revenue and Forest departments are jointly trying to sabotage the Muttil rosewood tree felling case.
Though two years have passed after the government constituted a special team to investigate the massive felling of precious woods in various parts of the State, especially in Wayanad, the investigation was yet to be completed, N. Badusha, president, Wayanad Prakruthi Samrakshna Samiti, said.
The recent DNA test on the axed trees proved that they were centuries old contrary to the claim of the accused that the trees were planted by farmers after getting pattayam, Mr. Badusha said.
