Supreme Court Panel Recommends Measures to Protect Himachal Pradesh Ecosystem
The Supreme Court's Central Empowered Committee (CEC) has recommended measures to protect Himachal Pradesh's fragile Himalayan ecosystem amid rising development pressures and damage from heavy monsoon rainfall and landslides. Key proposals include assessing the carrying capacity of tourist sites, reviewing highway projects, and screening hydroelectric projects above 2,000 metres. The CEC's report also noted a 10.85% shortfall in compensatory afforestation and highlighted that about 60% of the state's road network is landslide-prone, urging stricter environmental safeguards.
