Feroz said that the absence of the rangers is seriously hampering the functioning of the department more so the ranges where the positions of range officers are lying vacant.
Feroz said that a delegation of the forest employees met the Forest Minister, Mian Altaf Ahmad and apprised him of the injustice meted out to the deserving officials following the issuance of order number 48 issued by the department on 31-01-2013. He said by virtue of this order six junior foresters happening to be kith and kin of Ministers and bureaucrats have been placed as in-charge range officers.
