Redsanders cultivators in private lands in Telangana are in a fix as the State Government, more particularly the Forest Department has failed to show them way out to sell their ‘genuinely raised’ trees.
Running from pillar to post to get the permission to fell the trees for future sale, the cultivators have only hit a road block every time they try and reach out to the administration.
At a meeting of the Redsanders cultivators with the Forest and Environment Minister Allola Indrakaran Reddy and senior Forest Department officials in Hyderabad on Tuesday, the cultivators, who have come together to form “Telangana Kalapa Sagudarula Sangham” (Telangana Wood Growers Association) expressed disappointment at the lackadaisical response from the officialdom.
