Bhopal Police Delays Bhoj Wetland Eviction Drive
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered the removal of 36 establishments that have encroached upon Bhoj Wetland in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
The district administration has not yet started the eviction process due to a lack of available police personnel, who are currently engaged in other duties like the Assembly session and Agniveer recruitment rally.
The NGT has given the authorities until July 29 to comply with the order.
The delay has raised concerns about environmental protection versus business interests.
