"By destroying the forests througg indiscriminate tree fellings, environmental banditry, charcoal productions, the entire ecosystem is in danger, creating natural imbalances, and posing serious threats to our communities. Sadly, this is fast becoming a norm in the northern part of the state, so, we are soliciting for your support to combat these nuisance and return normalcy" she said.

She however noted that the cordial relationship built with the police force will also help in curbing the indiscriminate dumping of refuse on road medians and violation against the monthly sanitation exercise.
