On Wednesday early morning at about 3 am the guards of local Forest Office heard the sound of a tree falling down.
They rushed towards the backside of the local forest office where they found a green sandalwood plant fallen down. They also heard the sound of some men rushing out from the backside of the campus. When they examined it was found that some miscreants have tried to steal a big green sandalwood plant. In their effort the thieves succeeded in cutting the plant but anyhow it fell down and due to the sound the guards reached there.
In the morning DFO RS Pandya reached at the spot. He said that the plant will be auctioned now. As per their estimate the plant will give atleast Rs. 2 lakhs to the department. In local forest office it was the fourth attempt and in two attempts the thieves had successfully stolen the sandalwood plant from the campus.
