The police in Itanagar have successfully launched a crackdown on illegal timber smuggling activities in the region, following a series of intelligence reports. Smuggling timber has become a persistent issue, threatening the state’s ecological balance and leading to illegal deforestation. The authorities have seized large quantities of timber, arrested several individuals, and dismantled a network of smugglers who have been operating in the region for years.
In the wake of this operation, the Itanagar police have pledged to enhance monitoring and surveillance of forest areas and established more stringent checks along key transportation routes. The government has also been working with environmental experts to ensure that such illegal activities are curtailed, with a focus on maintaining the state’s rich biodiversity. The police continue to urge citizens to remain vigilant and report any illegal timber trade they come across.
