“The man, G Santosh Reddy had cut the tree, saying it was obstructing construction of his new house”, a forest department official said. “The boy called the forest department’s toll-free number (1800 425 5364) after he noticed that a huge tree was cut. He identified himself as a ‘Green Brigadier’ and requested that action be taken against those responsible for cutting the tree,” said Hyderabad district forest officer M Joji.
Officials informed that Reddy, who paid the fine amount, also tried to destroy the evidence by trying to burn the branches and the entire trunk of the tree in the night to avoid any suspicion.
