The Guyana Forestry Commission, has seized all machinery and equipment from a Canal Number Two concession, after it was found that 25 acres of secondary forest, was removed without the necessary approval from State Forest Permission concession.
Kaieteur News was told, that the GFC was on Monday last conducting a routine monitoring exercise at the concessions, when it was discovered that the concession was being cleared.
The activity, was at the time being carried out by New Line Aqua Farm, reportedly for the later development of agricultural activities.
As such, the GFC immediately issued a ceased order, and is now conducting a detailed investigation into the matter.
Among the machinery seized, are a Caterpillar Bulldozer, Bulldozer with rake, Caterpillar Hymac, along with a Tractor and Trailer.
In a letter, which Kaieteur News is in possession of, Commissioner of Forest, James Singh, is requesting that Commissioner of Lands and Survey Commission, Doorga Persaud, provide a status report, outlining if any application was made to that organization for the establishment of an agricultural farm at that location.
The Commissioner of Forest is also requesting the dates that such an application was made, along with the current status of the application.
This newspaper was told last evening from a reliable source, that New Line has no concession or permit from GFC.
