Sandalwood smuggling rears its head again in Marayur
The Marayur sandalwood reserve, a treasured asset of Kerala, has once again come under threat from sandalwood smugglers after a long hiatus.
According to officials with the Forest department, the reserve has lost ten trees in just two months, highlighting a resurgence of large-scale sandalwood theft. The most recent incident occurred on Saturday (November 23, 2024) night, when poachers felled and smuggled a sandalwood tree from the Nachivayal forest station area within the reserve.
