Will they ever be punished?
The plunderers of the Sundarbans are cutting valuable trees and selling it in public with the help of some unscrupulous employees of the forest department. It is an open secret in the locality. But none even dare to protest the crime. In Paikgachha, Shyamnagar and Ashasuni Upazila headquarters, these illegal logs are being sold in presence of the law enforcers.
Everybody knows who the criminals are, yet the police are 'unaware' of them. This felling and selling of logs may make the Sundarbans barren very soon. Immediate actions should be taken against the culprits.
