However, as HoFF Satyajit Singh has to be very decisive. Forest officials are seen as one who lives in green cottages and hardly believe in mixing with ordinary mortals.
It is believed the new HoFF will do all to connect forest officials with the masses.
Forest officials should take lessons from the mining officials whose job is no less dangerous these days following a strong pattern for illicit mining etc.
The new HoFF who is down to earth may like to see how his forest personnel right from forest guard to ranger mitigate the sufferings of the poor and make spaces for the common people to do their bits for the jungles.
