The three linear infrastructural projects, which have got the go-ahead from the State govt, are bound to cause widespread damage to a region that is a treasure trove of flora & fauna. The government should care and preserve these tiger habitats, thick forest and biodiversity hotspot in the state.
It is even more distressing that such clearances are granted by the very authorities appointed to protect our environment and wildlife. These hastily approved linear projects were unnecessary, and not in the larger interest of the people. It violates many procedures laid down by law. These are a devastating blow to the environmental rule of law in the country.
