ANDHRA PARDESH: The Penukonda police have seized a truck loaded of logs under the suspicion that they were red sanders.
Speaking to Customs Today, Penukonda DSP N. Subba Rao said that the police, acting on a tip-off, halted a truck close to the Haripuram village, just a few km away from the Penukonda town. “Close to 180 logs of wood were covered by raw banana fruit and being transported to an unknown destination by miscreants, who fled leaving the vehicle, when the police stopped the truck,” said Mr. Subba Rao. Sundra wood is endemic species to the Indian subcontinent.
