Threats

In the surrounding villages of Kadirgrah, Kachina, Batajoor, Palgaon, Tamat and Dhakuria, sawmills have been illegally established in violation of the Forest Department's regulations. These sawmills are actively involved in logging large trees from the sal forest, often in broad daylight as well as under the cover of darkness. The illegally processed timber is then sold to furniture shops in nearby markets. ^[5]
