Cutting trees in own private property

why would u want to unnecessarily invite attention of authorities to something u can do without much fuss? if u contact municipal authorities they themselves would facilitate it for u without any trouble. Its all about offering a biting my dear friend. whether corporation or forest department they all want some butter and cheese.

no, actually i saw trees being cut down in a compound. I want to make sure that the person who did this is punished if he doesnt have required permits. In Orissa, you need permits to cut down specific trees. I was wondering what should be my course of action if these specific trees have been cut down in this case without a permit.  Cutting a tree myself would be the last thing I would do, I am all green.

in order to cut the trees in the schedule under the forest act must get permission from the forest department. (i.e sandal wood, red teek, oak etc)
