In a bizarre incident, some miscreants apparently set the Assisted
Natural Regeneration (ANR) plantation on the outskirt of the town on Friday
damaging the green cover. The fire caused damages to the ANR plantation, a
rest-shed inside a nursery and a few plants. Forest officials immediately
rushed to the spot and doused the flame.
On Thursday, sources said, forest officials had seized four
bullock carts loaded with woods from nearby forest at BSNL Chowk. However, they
failed to catch the people, who had bought the woods. Later, the forest
officers had engaged a person to look after the bullocks. However, in the
afternoon, a few people came and forcibly took away the bullocks.
A complaint has been lodged at the Balangir town police station in
this regard. “We apprehend that the fire at the ANR plantation might have been
done by miscreants of nearby villages. Whenever we detain a person for bringing
woods from forests, we get phone calls from local people to release them,” said
a forest official.
