Keeping
aside the quarrel between the central government and upright Indian Forest
Service officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi, the Uttarakhand government has decided to
honor the officer on the Republic Day for his outstanding contributions to
forest research. Even
though 16 cases of central government's hamhanded dealing with him are pending
in four High Courts and the Supreme Court, the chief forest officer of the
state B K Gongte, in a letter dated January 19, 2019, has requested Chaturvedi
to be present at the head office of the state forest department so that he
could be honoured for his outstanding contributions to saving and reviving some
of the endangered Himalayan botanical species. The
letter also expresses profound admiration of the department to Sanjiv's other
'out-of-box' contributions like involving the private sector in research
activities for the preservation, conservation, and development of forestry in
the state.
