The Forest Department seized a dumper truck during a joint operation by the Ukhiya and Rajarkul ranges in Cox’s Bazar on Wednesday night. The raid took place around 10:30 p.m. in the Thoingakata area of the Aparruju beat under the Rajarkul range. The truck was allegedly being used for illegal hill cutting. The driver managed to escape, and the vehicle’s owner could not be identified as it lacked valid documents.
According to Forest Department sources, the area had long been under suspicion for illegal hill cutting. Acting on a confidential tip, forest officials from both ranges conducted the joint operation. Although those involved in the activity fled upon sensing the raid, the department successfully seized the dumper truck.
Ukhiya Range Officer Shahinur Islam stated that the Forest Department maintains a zero-tolerance policy against forest and environmental destruction. Hill cutting is completely prohibited, and a case under the Forest Act is in process.
