The commission proposed that the Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) take over the approval of the 10-year management plan of VFCs, replacing the Chief CF/CF. Once approved by the DCF, the Annual Plan of Operations should be overseen by the Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF), and estimates, tenders, work orders, and bill payments delegated to the Range Forest Officer (RFO).
The commission’s report, submitted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, proposed various measures, including the clearance of slums, which could necessitate increased contributions from taxpayers.
