Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 19: In a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Ghulam Rasool Magrey seeking check on environmental degradation due to construction of power projects in a highly seismic sensitive zone of Kishtwar, Division Bench of State High Court comprising Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sanjay Kumar Gupta today granted four weeks time to the State for filing objections.
In the PIL filed through Advocate Pranav Kohli, prayer has been made for issuance of directions to the respondents to protect environment, forest, wild flora and fauna which is under serious and imminent threat due to un-mindful construction of 11 hydro electric power projects without complying to the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act in Kishtwar.
