Supreme Court Orders Haryana Restoration Plans Over Illegal Mining
The Supreme Court is making plans to fix an area in Haryana that was damaged by illegal mining.
The Court has asked a special group to work with the Haryana government to create these plans.
This is because the government wasn't doing enough to stop the illegal mining.
The mining caused a road to be built in a protected area, which hurt the environment and wildlife.
The special group found that laws were broken, and officials didn't take action.
The court is now pushing for restoration efforts.
Supreme Court directs CEC to create restoration plans for an area in Nuh, Haryana, damaged by illegal mining.
The CEC is to collaborate with the Haryana government on the restoration plans.
The court previously criticized the Haryana government for inaction against the mining mafia and errant officials.
An illegal road was constructed through protected forest land to facilitate stone transportation.
The CEC report flagged serious breaches of environmental protection laws and administrative inaction.
