Indian Forest Service

Too many times, we hear complaints that the Forest Department is just another governmental department, totally disattached from what it has to do, and completely at the mercy of the polity and vested interests. Too many times, I have seen honest and well-meaning officers left unpromoted and tossed from one place to another because they angered the ruling ministers and MLAs by doing their jobs. Isn't the solution simple? Disconnect the FD from the polity and make it answerable only to an independent body of jurors randomly selected from the citizenry.

Very well said! It's too unfortunate that only the good officials of the forest department are let to face the brunt of the bad situations and their growth towards the right direction is stopped, wherein, the unruly thugs, the so called higher officials are getting promoted for their atrocities played!
