Imphal, May 10 2012:
An official meeting presided by Principal Secretary (Forest and Environment) VK Thakral today deliberated on the alleged delaying tactics resorted to by Deputy Commissioners while proclaiming sites identified for wildlife sanctuaries or parks.
Among others, the meeting was attended by the Chief Wildlife Warden, DFO (Park and Sanctuary), DC Chandel and ADC Moreh.
The meeting deliberated on the undue delay made by concerned DCs in proclaiming Jiri-Makru Wildlife Sanctuary, Zeliad Wildlife Sanctuary, Burning Wildlife Sanctuary and Siroy National Park.
The meeting was held following stringent instructions from the Ministry of Forest and Environment to keep all sanctuaries and parks well protected.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Environment Directorate would organise consultative workshops in every district ahead of finalising the State's Action Plan on Climate Change by July this year.
