The Hindu
He says elected political executive involved in timber loot
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on Monday said the government’s attempt to insulate a top forest official from prosecution in the South Muttil illegal rosewood tree-felling case pointed to the involvement of the State’s elected political executive in the timber loot. Mr. Satheesan said a person who held top political office in the State and hailed from Dharmadam in Kannur was behind the illegal tree felling. “I dare Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to reveal the Dharmadam link,” he said. Mr. Satheesan said an internal inquiry by the Forest Department had found the officer guilty of abetting the illegal tree felling.
