Mysuru: Stressing on the need for Forest Department staff to commit themselves for conservation of Wildlife and Forests, Chief Conservator of Forests (CCF) Venkatesh observed that training of personnel holds key for successful implementation of Forest Laws. He was speaking at the 2019 Diary and Calendar release programme organised by the Mysuru Unit of Karnataka State Sub-Divisional Forest Officers and Surveyors Association at Aranya Bhavan in Ashokapuram here yesterday.
Emphasising on the need for clearing forest encroachments and to keep a watch on illegal activities in reserved forests, social forests, deemed forests and designated forest land, Venkatesh suggested the Forest personnel to register FIR for illegal forest activities based on GPRS tracking. Highlighting the role of Sub-Divisional Forest Officers and Surveyors in protecting forest borders and preventing man-animal conflicts, he said that clearing encroachments was vital in the implementation of Forest Laws.
