Zeliangrong Students’ Union (Nagaland) has reaffirmed to completely ban logging activities in Peren district.
In a press release, ZSU (N) president Dithuibo Newmai and general secretary Adona Herie lamented that Peren district, which was often tagged as green district by the government, was gradually losing its greenery because of logging activities. They said the road was also a major concern as timber loaded trucks were causing major damage to the road during the rainy season.
ZSU(N) expressed disappointment that log trucks continue to ply despite its appeal and DC’s order dated May 21, 2019.
The union expressed dismay at a few individuals for carrying out logging activities despite warning and orders from the union and the district administration.
ZSU (N) reiterated that if any truck found ferrying log during its banned period, the union would take action as per resolution.
Further, the union has appealed to all responsible to cooperate with its directive till further notice.
