Wildlife sanctuary status for Poba RF urged

Correspondent
JONAI, Feb 3 – Despite being endowed with enormous bio- diversities with numerous perennial streams with evergreen forest covers, the Poba Reserve Forest (RF) – gazetted way back in 1924 – is yet to be declared as a wildlife sanctuary, disgracing the demand raised by the local people along with environmentalists of the State. The people here including NGO members, student union leaders and senior citizens have criticized the inaction of the State Government and the indifferent role of its Forest Minister over the important issue.
