6,000 trees, not 163, felled in Corbett for tiger safari: FSI

 

2 Oct 2022

DEHRADUN: Nearly a year after a TOI report said that thousands of trees, and not just "163" for which the Uttarakhand administration had sought permission for, were cut without permission in the Corbett Tiger Reserve, the Forest Survey of India has now confirmed that "over 6,000 trees" were felled in the 40-acre dense forest to facilitate the Pakhro Tiger Safari.

The FSI, a premier body for survey of forest wealth in the country under the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change, had conducted a ground survey of CTR in June 2022, after which its findings confirmed that "thousands of trees were infeed felled, not a few hundred". TOI had reported that on September 2021.
