An evaluation of Azad Kashmir Logging and Sawmilling Corporation

ABSTRACT
This paper gives a detailed review of working of Azad Kashmir Logging and Sawmilling Corporation since its establishment in 1971. The Corporation has been running short of targets in both extracting timber from forests and its subsequent conversion in the saw-mill at Mirpur. The out-turn of round and sawn timber is also low and sawing operations are highly uneconomical. Since market currently prefers round timber, it is suggested that AKLASC should concentrate on its forest operations, extract all standing Timber handed over to it and sell
the same in round form. Some changes in current administrative set up are also suggested to improve the efficiency of AKLASC.
