At the end of September 2020-2021, there are 1378.0409 tons of timber remaining in the Rakhine State Forestry Administration, of which 750.143 tons of timber are not required by the Forestry Administration. At present, the state-level government's consent has been obtained to conduct a public auction of the seized and confiscated 750.143 tons of timber. Relevant personnel from the Rakhine Forestry Administration also responded to the investigation of the damage to the timber.
A person in charge of the Rakhine State Forestry Administration stated that in recent years, Rakhine State has stepped up operations against timber smuggling and confiscated a large amount of timber in accordance with the law. After the timber is seized, we cannot proceed with the auction immediately. We can only report to the state government after submitting the case to the court, and we can only proceed with the auction after obtaining the consent of the state government.
A citizen of Sittwe, Ge Mozuo, said that the auction should be conducted in an open, fair and transparent manner, and everyone needs to know that there is an auction before it is held. Under normal circumstances, only a small number of people get the news. After the auction is completed, we only hear who has taken the wood. We hope that the relevant departments can increase the publicity coverage of the auction.
