Dimapur, May 6 (MExN): The DGP Nagaland has issued a clarification in regard to the post in certain segments of social media about felling and transportation of some timber from Police Complex Chümoukedima.
The tone and language of these posts may have conveyed some element of mistrust in the mind of people about the intention and procedure of cutting these trees, said the DGP while adding, “This rejoinder is being issued to the public at large to clarify and factually state the position of the department.”
As per the DGP, the felling of around 50 number of these trees was necessitated due to security reasons to the under construction VIP guest house. “Further, these trees posed hazard to the existing Police Mess and cottages. These trees were on the land of Police Department and belonged to the Department,” he stated.
He also stated that all due procedures were followed in removal and disposal of these trees and the proceeds of these trees were to be deposited to PHQ.
“After due process and permissions, we proposed to use it to develop a Horti Orchard in the space cleared under the supervision of 1st NAP, as a Police Welfare measure. Many Nagaland Police units have such Welfare schemes such as Fisheries, Orchards etc,” he said.
“All other speculations and rumours are factually incorrect,” the DGP clarified.
