The monsoon season has still not started in Central India and thus more log auctions are expected to be held as logging can continue and the supply from the forest is good.
As the monsoon season continues in Western India, the Forest department and NGOs are implementing tree planting programmes. This year the programme seems to be particularly popular in terms of number of participants, perhaps due to increased environmental awareness in India.
