00:00On our cremation ground where we provide funeral wood, we have already tendered a contractor

00:11who used to provide us with FOR wood.

00:16But recently, when the government has imposed a ban on green felling,

00:22in the 10-year cycle, we saw a notification that it is only allowed firewood.

00:28Now, the contractor is not able to transport the available wood

00:34because he is not getting a permit and there is no new cutting.

00:38There was a shortage of wood here, so we had to approach the Forest Corporation

00:44and the Forest Corporation has provided us with wood.

00:47But the wood that has come from the Forest Corporation,

00:50we have to transport it ourselves to the depot where they have given us space.

00:54The cost is different.

00:55Plus, the contractor used to provide us with the wood at Rs. 540 per quintal.

01:00But the wood from the Forest Corporation is available at Rs. 1130 per quintal.

01:06Obviously, the burden on the MC will also be financial

01:11and the general public will also have to bear the cost.

01:15Because when we are procuring wood at a certain rate,

01:18we will have to charge the people accordingly.

01:22Does this mean that the rate will be doubled?

01:26Yes, obviously, the rate will increase accordingly.

01:30Because the MC will not be able to reduce the amount of wood that is being procured.

01:38Because the amount of wood that has been procured,

01:41when we used to add the additional cost of manpower,

01:45there will be no change in that.

01:47So, the cost of wood will obviously have to be paid more.

01:52Is this a matter of high demand?

01:57Yes, I had brought this matter to the attention of the secretary and the DC.

02:02But the reference will be sent to the government today.

02:07So, I have sent this letter to the secretary to the government.
