Earlier order allowed farmers to cut all trees, except sandalwood, on land with title deed
The government has issued a new order cancelling its earlier order allowing farmers with title deeds issued under the 1964 Land Assignment Act to cut all trees, except sandalwood, grown by them on their land in Idukki. The new order, issued on January 30, said the earlier order was cancelled as civil cases in this regard were going on in the High Court and the earlier order created confusion on the status of trees.
