Due to the ongoing Jat reservation agitation, the Sub Divisional Officer (Civil) Tohana, has directed the executive officer, municipal council to hold a meeting with all JCB machine operators in the jurisdictions and ask them that their JCBs should not be used for uprooting the trees.
In case their JCBs are used to uproot trees or dig roads, they would invite stern action against themselves and their vehicles would be impounded, said the SDM while presiding over a meeting on Tuesday.
The officers concerned were also asked to ensure proper coordination and remain alert to deal with any eventuality. They were also directed not to allow night halt of buses in villages till the agitation continues. The officers of Forest Department have been asked to keep their staff alert and in case of felling of trees, make necessary arrangements for electric saws and tractor trolleys.
