Aizawl: Mizoram Environment and Forests Minister, Mr. H. Rohluna said, action will be taken against the defaulting staff and officers of the department who allegedly indulged in killing of wild animals and poisoning of fishes in the river.

Reacting to the statement made recently by the Consultant of Indian Research Institute, North East, Mr. Rotluanga Fanai, the Minister said that thorough investigation will be taken in this regard to prove the allegations and the Department will not spare those found guilty of violating the law.
