Petitioners Seek Halt on Kukrail Night Safari Project Pending Fresh Approvals
Petitioners have urged the Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC) to halt work on the Kukrail Night Safari project in Lucknow, citing that changes to the original plan require fresh statutory approvals. They argue that the rejection of key components like the zoo relocation and adventure zone means the existing clearances are invalid. The petitioners also highlighted discrepancies in project area and financial sanctions, requesting a new detailed project report and approvals before proceeding.
