Nature’s Alarm: Surge of Wood Logs in Ravi River Signals Rampant Timber Mafia Activity in Himachal Pradesh

The Ravi River’s swollen waters in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, have exposed alarming evidence of timber mafia activity, with massive wood logs floating downstream amid recent floods. Environmentalists warn that the scale of logs indicates systematic illegal felling, not just natural erosion, deepening the region’s ecological crisis. As flash floods devastate villages and infrastructure, activists demand a high-level probe, stricter enforcement, and community-led monitoring to curb rampant deforestation threatening Himachal’s fragile biodiversity.
