Berung village youth President, Orin Panggeng while seeking immediate attention to stop the rampant practice of illegal means of fishing has appealed to the DFO to deploy forest officials and a team to carry out patrolling in the area as it falls under Pasighat Reserve Forest. 
It is worth mentioning here that rampant illegal means of fishing is practiced at the areas closed to 21 Mile, Partung and Pillumukh areas under Pasighat RF including illegal hunting and felling of trees without any proper restriction from the forest department. One of the staff on condition of anonymity shared that illegal means of fishing, hunting and illegal felling of trees are common in the RF areas but they are helpless as higher authorities do not take appropriate action despite knowing the facts.
However, on receiving the complaint, DFO Pasighat Forest Division has deployed forest officials and staff for rigorous patrolling in the area. Tashi Mize, DFO Pasighat Forest Division has responded to the complaint and has informed that the forest team today carried out rigorous patrolling in the area and has assured to take appropriate action against anyone found engaging in illegal means.
