NGT Bans Mining Close to Sariska Reserve
Following a plea challenging the environmental clearance granted to mines within 10 km of the Sariska Tiger Reserve, the National Green Tribunal has banned all mining activity around the area. Any further activity is subject to the clearance of leases by the National Board of Wildlife.
A Bench, headed by NGT judicial member Raghuvedra S. Rathore, passed the directions while noting that the final notification on the eco-sensitive zone for the Tiger Reserve is yet to be notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF &CC).
