This article is duplicated in Department of Environment and Forests (Tamil Nadu). According to the agency's website, the English version of its name is " Environment and Forests Department". I suggest that this and the other article both be merged into an article by the above name. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 02:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Oppose: on the grounds that Forests is a distinct subdepartment, has a long independent history and is currently a well-referenced page covering a distinct topic. A separate page seems reasonable. Klbrain ( talk) 18:50, 1 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Two articles on the same topic DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 10:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC) reply

This recruitment committee does not appear to be sufficiently notable for a stand-alone article, but could appropriately be mentioned in the article on the Forest Department. Pam D 14:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC) reply

The contents of the Tamil Nadu Forest Uniformed Services Recruitment Committee page were merged into Tamil Nadu Forest Department. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
