Khagrachhari

Illegal cassava farming continues to expand in Khagrachhari, where large areas of hilly forests, rich in biodiversity, are being cleared for commercial cultivation. Despite a directive from the District Environment and Forest Development Committee four months ago for local authorities to investigate and report on the issue, no action has been taken, and the destruction persists.
