Posted by Editor on February 20, 2019 - 8:56 am
All chainsaw machines that are currently in use must be registered from today (20) as per an order issued by the President.
Accordingly all chainsaws used by state, semi-government and private entities, either institutionally or privately used, are required to be registered at the nearest Police Station.
A special identification document and a number plate will be issued.
This initiative is to combat deforestation and every other illegal activity carried out with the use of chainsaw machines.
