Punjab and Haryana HC Proposes SOP for 3-D Satellite Monitoring of Mining Sites
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has urged the Union Government to consider establishing a standard operating procedure (SOP) for preserving 3-D satellite imagery with geo-coordinates of mining sites at regular intervals. This imagery would be made publicly accessible to help monitor environmental violations, particularly in the Charkhi Dadri mining area within the Aravallis. The Court emphasized that such a mechanism would aid authorities in protecting environmental interests and directed relevant officials to obtain satellite data to assess damage over time.
