    Oh!!! great job done by our officials who are paid from the taxpayers money but act on the information given by unemployed bhakts . When are they going to take action on the master of Electoral bond scams, religious riot specialist, fake encounter specialist, murderer of indians in foreign countries, murderer of his political opponents from his own party, murderer of judges who refuse to become corrupt... etc.

    1000s of high value trees are felled every day across the country that too from reserved forests. Many wild animals are homeless because of mining and devastation of forests. They are venturing into towns and villeges in search of food. Forest department wont do anything there. Its a shame that, collecting wax, becomes a criminal, that too publishing the photo of the accused, as if to portray they are dealing with narcotics. Truly sad.

    What's too wrong in this act?... They are just doing for their livelihood... They are not tree robbers... Extracting wax which otherwise would go waste is not a crime.... Forest dept has made several tribals' lives miserable for the similar reasons... please don't go by the sirnames... Any caste poor people also would do this for a living... At least they are not stealing or begging....

    Well said Mr.Prakesh, They don't have courage to arrest tax evaders. So "chindhi choor' they arrest and at least some one will come in media limelight.
