Ex-Shimla Dy Mayor Challenges Apple Orchard Removal in Supreme Court

Ex-Shimla Dy Mayor Challenges Apple Orchard Removal in Supreme Court

Imagine the government wants to cut down apple trees grown on forest land.

A former leader from Shimla is going to the highest court (Supreme Court) to say this is wrong.

He says it'll hurt the environment because it could cause landslides and ruin the soil.

He also argues that it will harm the local economy because apple farming is very important to people's jobs and livelihood.

The former leader believes that the order is unfair because it was made without fully assessing its environmental impact, and wants a different solution that helps both the environment and the local farmers.
