During the search, 25 feet of teak wood was found in the very last compartment of the train, the market value of which is around 35 thousand rupees. But it was not possible to catch anyone who was with the wood. They ran away after being searched. Meanwhile, allegations of dereliction of duty have surfaced against RPF and GRPF. Because even if the woods were passed in front of their eyes, then how they did not see? It is suspected that they may have connection with the smugglers. In this way the revenue of lakhs of rupees of the state government is being lost throughout the years. The forest officials of the northern district should be more active to stop the smuggling activities of wood smugglers.
