Uttarakhand HC Halts Stone Crusher Expansion, Demands Zones

Imagine the Uttarakhand High Court as a teacher who wants to stop too many noisy stone crushers from popping up everywhere.

These crushers break rocks into smaller pieces.

Some people said they are causing problems like pollution.

The court told the government to find specific spots, like designated zones, where these crushers can be built.

The court said that the government should not give permission for new stone crushers until they figure out these special zones.

The court listened to people who live near these crushers.

The court noted that the stone crushers sometimes break the rules to make more money.
