Chhattisgarh Assembly Disrupted Over Deforestation Allegations

Chhattisgarh Assembly Disrupted Over Deforestation Allegations

The Chhattisgarh Assembly got very noisy and disrupted on Tuesday.

The Congress party members were protesting because they say that a lot of trees are being cut down in places like Surguja and Bastar for mining.

They think the government is letting big companies take over forest land without properly asking the local people.

The Congress members wanted to talk about this in the Assembly, but the Speaker didn't let them.

This made the Congress members very upset, and they started shouting and even got suspended for a short time.

The government says they are following all the rules and are actually planting more trees than they are cutting down.

They also say that only a small amount of forest land has been used for mining in the last two years.

The Congress members are worried about the forests because they think it's very important for animals, water, and the people who live there.
