Goa Wildlife Board Recommends Ore Handling Proposal Review

Imagine a railway station inside a wildlife sanctuary where they want to load and unload iron ore.

The State Board for Wildlife in Goa is looking at this plan.

They've decided to ask the National Board for Wildlife for their opinion, following rules from the Supreme Court.

This is because the loading and unloading could hurt the animals and plants in the sanctuary.

The plan has been challenged in court before.

The board is trying to figure out the best way to handle the ore without causing too much damage to the environment.

They are concerned about trucks and other activities near the sanctuary's wildlife.

They may even form a team of experts to study the impact of the handling on the wildlife and create a plan to reduce the damage.

The Supreme Court had previously stopped any new developments in the area of the tiger reserve.
