    How the trees were allowed to be cut -- so officials are hand in glove while cutting at source ---- regular racket -- It is said Rs 7=00 lakhs -- value and to be used for firewood -- surely fire wood would not be so expensive in one lorry load -- this is more valuable -- Teak etc -- mixed -- with jungle wood--
