Congress MLA from Kota’s Sangod Assembly seat Bharat Singh Kundanpur has written to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, demanding the removal of Forest Minister Sukhram Vishnoi for his “lack of interest” in his department. Singh, in his letter dated June 7, said that World Environment Day is observed every year on June 5 and there is a need to see and understand the linkage of human development with environmental protection in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Therefore, the government needs to pay more attention to the protection of forests. And it is necessary that the heads of the State Forest and Environment Department are serious about their responsibility. But sadly, the Forest Minister did not pay any attention to it. Apart from the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Forest Department, Vishnoi also holds the portfolios of Environment (Independent Charge), Food and Civil Supplies, as well as Consumer Affairs. “They have to be found in Kota’s Mukundara Tiger Reserve, Or Sorasan or Cheetah have no interest in settling the Godavas. “The Forest Minister has never roamed the forests or shown concern for them,” Singh said, requesting Gehlot to release Vishnoi from this portfolio “and considering his capabilities, he should Allocate a good department (department) accordingly so that he may be happy. ” Vishnoi, MLA from Sanchore in Jalore, could not be reached for comment. .
