Tirupati: The Red Sanders Anti-Smuggling Task Force (RSASTF) sleuths arrested 13 persons for attempting to illegally cut down red sanders trees in a restricted forest near Kallur on Tuesday.

Acting under the directives of Tirupati District SP L Subbarayudu and Task Force SP P Srinivas, the RSASTF team led by DSP G Balireddy seized two vehicles, a motorcycle, iron axes and other equipment.
