Manipur principal chief conservator of forest (wildlife) – Dr AK Joshi in his letter said, “I am writing to you to point out a serious factual error regarding one of your products.

Moreover, the wrapper of the chocolate brand carries a picture of a red panda, which is not found in the KLNP.
“This appears to be an irresponsible act on the part of Nestle company, which has apparently allowed this without verifying the facts”, Dr AK Joshi added.
The Manipur Forest Department has further asked Nestle to rectify the mistake immediately.
“I hope you agree with me that this is not acceptable under any circumstances. I trust that you will deal with this issue at the earliest possible. I also hope that you will take necessary precautions to prevent such incidents in the future”, added Dr Joshi.
