Himachal Pradesh High Court Halts Forest Road Work and Freezes Development on Disputed Temple Land
The Himachal Pradesh High Court has issued two orders addressing environmental and land disputes. It halted construction and tarring of 55 forest roads in Mandi district, citing violations of the Forest Conservation Act and concerns over ecological impact, including tree felling and helipad presence. Separately, the court directed the state government to maintain status quo on 41.10 bighas of disputed temple land in Nalagarh, prohibiting development amid ongoing legal challenges over land exchanges and mutations. Both matters await further hearings and enforcement.
