Water catchment area being logged
TEMERLOH: Illegal logging has been discovered in a water catchment area in Jerantut by the Pahang Forestry Department.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said the department found this out about two weeks ago.
The illegal logging was being carried out over an area of 8ha to 12ha.
“The department is investigating the extent of the operations.
“It will take action against those involved once the probe is completed,” Adnan said after attending a dinner with the people hosted by the Kuala Krau Umno division here on Sunday night.
He added that some logging contractors also tried to log outside the areas designated by the department.
