Tura, Aug 27: The Aham unit from East Garo Hills district has detained one vehicle carrying illegal timber exports from Songsak Forest Reserve to Assam.

According to reports, this comes after the Aham unit from East Garo Hills district was informed of the movement of a timber vehicle last evening around 12:30 at midnight, and when they spotted one vehicle, they immediately stopped it. Upon a check, the Aham members found it to be full of freshly sawed trees.

The seized materials were sent to Songsak Forest Reserve, East Garo Hills in William Nagar.

Earlier on Aug 24, timber thieves in Garo Hills escaped with a truck load of illegally cut trees despite an attempt to confiscate the consignment by vigilant villagers in the Garobadha area of West Garo Hills on August 23rd night.

The Mahindra Bolero mini truck bearing an Assam registration number was packed with 10 large logs of freshly cut trees and spotted by alert villagers in Megonggre village under Garobadha in the West Garo Hills.
