Activist Reports Illegal Construction in Kaziranga Wildlife Corridors to Supreme Court Panel

An environmental activist, Rohit Choudhury, has filed a complaint with the Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee alleging illegal construction in wildlife corridors connecting Kaziranga National Park and Assam's Karbi Anglong hills. He claims a school is being built in the Haldhibari corridor and a residential structure in the Panbari corridor, violating a 2019 Supreme Court order that prohibits new construction in designated animal movement areas to protect wildlife during floods. The committee monitors compliance with such environmental directives.
