Haryana Notifies Master Plan for Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary Eco-Sensitive Zone
The Haryana government has notified the Zonal Master Plan for the Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ), covering 24.61 sq km around the sanctuary, including 10 villages and parts of Panchkula city. The plan prohibits new constructions such as commercial hotels, resorts, and high-rise group housing within the ESZ, while allowing local residents to build bona fide residential structures per building bylaws. Commercial mining, stone quarrying, pollution-causing industries, and commercial use of natural water resources are also banned to protect ecological integrity. Existing approved development plans, including those for the Mansa Devi Complex, will remain unchanged and must comply with the ESZ regulations.
