The Jammu and Kashmir Forest Minister has announced monthly targets for timber operations across the region, aiming to streamline production and ensure sustainable forest management.
The directive outlines specific volume goals for each month that forest divisions are expected to achieve. It is intended to bring greater accountability to timber extraction activities while adhering to ecological safeguards.
Officials from the forest department will monitor the progress against these targets and submit regular reports to the minister’s office. The move reflects the government’s focus on regulating forest resources for both economic and environmental benefits.
By fixing monthly benchmarks, the administration seeks to prevent over‑exploitation and promote a balanced approach to timber utilization in Jammu and Kashmir.
