Unidentified individuals allegedly entered the forest and attempted to cut down and remove valuable trees.<\/p>\n<p>During the reported operation, one of the felled trees came into contact with overhead electricity lines, resulting in damage to the power connection serving Lumding.<\/p>\n<p>The incident caused a sudden power disruption during the night, leaving a substantial portion of the town without electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Repair Work Begins After Power Lines Are Damaged<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the disruption, electricity department personnel were deployed to the affected area. Repair teams have been working since the early hours to restore the damaged lines connecting Diphu and Lumding.<\/p>\n<p>The incident has drawn attention to the potential consequences of unauthorised activities inside reserved forest areas, particularly when such activities take place close to critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Residents Seek Action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The reported tree-cutting has also prompted concern among residents, who have questioned the effectiveness of surveillance and protection measures in the forest stretch along the Lumding-Diphu road.<\/p>\n<p>Local people have urged the concerned authorities to investigate the incident, determine who was responsible for the alleged tree felling and take appropriate legal action if the allegations are established.<\/p>\n<p>The incident has once again highlighted concerns surrounding the protection of reserved forests and the need for closer monitoring of vulnerable stretches to prevent unauthorised tree cutting and related damage to public infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lumding: A reported tree-felling incident inside a reserved forest area along the Lumding-Diphu road has not only raised concerns about forest protection but also disrupted electricity supply to a large&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3713,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-assam"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
