Green crusaders, however, believe forest destruction is a likely cause of delay
Acrucial appointment and general elections have delayed the biennial government report on the state of Indian forests. This report, which was due in 2013, was first delayed because the Forest Survey of India (FSI), which conducts the survey, was headless for six months.And then, the ministry of environment held back the report, citing elections and Election Commission approval.
