Talking to Excelsior Jai Singh said hundreds of threes have been cut illegally in forest belt of twin districts of Kathua and Samba by the forest smugglers.

He said the illegal felling of threes in forest belt of twin districts is main cause of environmental pollution and flash floods.
He said recently in Lakhanpur area the wild animals had come into plain areas as mafia had cleaned maximum jungles and turned the jungles totally nude. He warned that in case the Forest Department fails to ensure safety of the jungles and take punitive action against the smugglers engaged in cleaning the forest areas the people will be forced to come to streets and launch a strong movement for protection of jungles in Jammu region.
