Pakistan's national exchequer is being deprived of revenues worth millions of rupees every year, sometime because of natural calamities and sometime because of man-made disasters. Where Cyclone-2A devastated forests which were a source of shade, shelter and food to many, men are chopping down trees and stealing valuable wood at a large scale with the connivance of the irrigation department authorities and district administration. They are not only inflicting heavy losses on the exchequer, but also damaging the environment and ecosystem irreversibly. These old trees, planted all along the canals by the British, are fast vanishing.
