In Khairagarh forest division, the forest department has wasted government funds by making fake payments worth crores in the name of cutting lines and various works.

In fact, the whole thing is of the Khairagarh-Dongargarh forest range. From January 2021 to March 2021, fake payments worth crores of rupees were made for work like line cutting, burning etc. Forest officers embezzled government funds worth crores of rupees in connivance with each other.
