Costly timber, used for furniture worth lakh of rupees has disappeared from forests of Murree.
The timber was chopped from the jungle near the Survey of Pakistan office, in the dark of night, after Iftar with connivance of corrupt forest guards, and which was immediately brought to notice of DFO, Murree Javed Gul.
The staff of Forest department was immediately dispatched to the site of crime, who immediately confiscated the chopped timber worth Rs, 2,50,000.
It is pertinent to note that continuous, criminal and unabated deforestation of Murree has invited land slidings, besides fading the natural beauty of the hill station.
