Heartening to see that @PawanKalyan cares to protect faith & has brought forth this eye opening sacrilege in open defiance of the law. We need to stop this now & bring culprits to book while naming & shaming them on the way.
Seshachalam Forest is not merely a forest; it is the sacred abode of Lord Balaji, blessed by the seven holy hills. And here, in this divine place, a heinous crime is being committed against our nation, our economy, our faith and our environment.
We speak of the Red Sanders tree. This incredible wealth, this Rakta Chandanam, is found nowhere else on Earth. It is a unique treasure, and it carries the spiritual weight of our people. Legends say it emerged from the divine blood of Lord Venkateswara himself! To cut this tree is not just a forestry crime—it is a spiritual desecration!
These trees are not lifeless wood. We know from the work of the great Indian scientist, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, that plants feel pain and shock. They live in a community, what the German forester Peter Wohlleben calls the "Wood-Wide Web." They share, they communicate, they protect each other.
When a mother tree is felled, the entire network shudders with an agonizing electric shock. The criminals who wield the axe are tearing apart a living, sacred community! They see only the red treasure, but we see the wounded faith of millions!
The recent inspection of the godowns at the Mangalam Depot reflected a chilling testament to the plunder of the last few years. It is a silent graveyard. 2.6 lakh logs—the severed remains of an estimated 1.3 lakh Mother trees—stolen, butchered, and stacked as numbered inventory. The financial theft alone is staggering: ₹2,000 crore, perhaps ₹5,000 crore, stolen directly from the State Exchequer and our national future! This is money that belongs to our people, money that should be building roads, schools and hospitals.
But this raises critical questions
How can a few people encroach on forest lands so easily?
Who gives them the audacity to cut down the red sandalwood trees without fear?
How do they smuggle them in broad daylight, escaping from the police, the security, the government agencies, and the community around the forest?
The answers point to systemic failure and a terrible lack of political will in the past. We must stop asking why and start demanding justice.
It’s time all those culprits faced the law and its consequences! No more can individuals treat these ancient forests as gardens in their backyards or treat the Endangered Red Sanders as their personal property.
Our coalition government will not tolerate the smuggling of Red Sanders any longer. We are identifying the smugglers, kingpins and all culprits involved. We will not just arrest them; we will seize their assets under the Forest Act!
A special, full-fledged operation, similar to the Centre's 'Operation Kagar,' to wipe out every single individual involved in this illegal trade shall be initiated soon. We will ensure fear among the smugglers so that no one, no one, dares to touch a single Red Sanders tree again.
The Red Sanders is a life that feels, it is our national wealth, and it is sacred. We are watching, and we will protect the wealth of our nation and the divine sanctity of Seshachalam!

Finally someone connecting every missing dot. With #OperationAranya@PawanKalyan is explaining that Seshachalam stands at the intersection of culture environmental duty community interests and the need for clean governance.
आप कहीं भी रहते हैं.. अगर देश के जंगलों के लिए आपको दिल नहीं धड़कता तो आप बेजान हैं
शुक्रिया @PawanKalyan जी 🙏 शेषाचलम की वेदना को आपने जिन शब्दों में पिरोया है.. वो दिल को छू गए हैं।
यह सिर्फ़ एक जंगल नहीं…हमारी आस्था की सांसें, हमारी प्रकृति की धड़कन है।
रेड सैंडर्स के गिरने से सिर्फ़ पेड़ नहीं टूटते,
वहाँ की विरासत, कहानियाँ और भविष्य भी बिखर जाता है।
अगर आज हम खड़े नहीं हुए,
तो कल ये पेड़ हमें बचाने के लिए खड़े नहीं दिखेंगे…
Dear @PawanKalyan garu,
This is a much-needed and long overdue push. As you said, what’s happening in Seshachalam isn’t just a forest issue, it’s a question of heritage, faith and basic accountability. Glad to see this kind of clarity and resolve. #OperationAranya
