The forest department has deputed 50 personnel to assist the STF and BSF in nabbing the outlaw Veerappan.
The STF had asked the department to depute some personnel to assist in the operations with the main objective of showing them the way into the deep jungles. When asked on the coordination between forest officials and STF, K K Somasundaram, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, said it is going on well. "That was why they had requested us to send some personnel", he said.
