The Arunachal Pradesh police have made significant strides in addressing the rampant issue of illegal logging in the state’s forests. A recent operation led to the seizure of large quantities of illegally cut timber, which was intended to be smuggled out of the region. The police arrested several suspects involved in the illegal activity and are working closely with environmental agencies to prevent further damage to the state’s rich biodiversity.
In addition to the arrests, the police are employing new technologies, including drones, to monitor forest areas more effectively. With the cooperation of the Forest Department and environmental NGOs, the state hopes to put an end to illegal logging practices and protect its natural resources.
