Forest Martyrs Day
10th November:- Forest Martyrs Day is commemorated every year on 10th November. It is an occasion to salute the spirited foresters who laid down their lives while protecting the forest ecosystems of our country. It was on November 10, 1991 that dreaded sandalwood smuggler Veerappan trapped and killed senior forest officer P.Srinivas, a Karnataka cadre IFS officer hailing from Rajahmundry, at Namadalli Forests at Chamrajnagar district, Karnataka. Since then, in the memory of the slain forester, November 10 has become Forest Martyrs Day. Since 1980, the Forest Department has lost more than 26 of its foresters in the State.
