Fed up by the style of functioning of Surendra Wadhai, Conservator of Forest, Social Forestry Department (SFD), Range Forest Officers, Foresters and Forest Guards from Nagpur circle, who have already resorted to mass leave from Monday, have decided to launch chain-fast agitation in front of the Office of Principal Chief conservator of Forest (Head of Forest Force), Civil Lines, from August 18 if their demand for immediate transfer of Wadhai is not done.
Ajay Patil, President of Maharashtra State Forest Guards & Promoted Foresters Union, said that his union and Forest Rangers Associaiton had already submitted a memorandum to Direcftor General, Social Forestry, Pune, drawing his attention towards troubling employees by Wadhai, his irregularities in forestry workers etc and warned to launch the agitation. However, the higher authorities failed to take any serious note to concede the demands of the field staff members and hence the workers, who are under mental pressure, have decided to launch agitation from August 18.
Meanwhile, Patil said that the union passed a resolution unanimously in a meeting held here on Tuesday that the field staff members would continue to go on the leave and actively participate in the proposed stir in support of the demand.
