Gujarat Forest Officials Suspended for Khair Wood Smuggling Nexus

Forest officials in Gujarat have been suspended for not doing their jobs properly, which led to the seizure of a large amount of Khair wood logs in Maharashtra.

The logs, worth crores of rupees, were being smuggled by a man named Arjun Patel, who has been involved in such activities for a long time.

Videos showing corrupt practices by a woman forester and a Range Forest Officer (RFO) went viral on social media, leading to an investigation.

The wood is used to make medicines and other products and is in high demand.

The forest department is now looking into the matter to find out who else is involved.
