Supreme Court Issues Notice Over Afforestation Delay

The court's action comes as a response to concerns over the failure to meet environmental compliance requirements for reforestation efforts linked to the highway's development. Compensatory afforestation is crucial for offsetting the environmental impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, ensuring that the loss of green cover is mitigated. The legal notice aims to address the delays and enforce adherence to environmental regulations, reflecting the judiciary's commitment to balancing infrastructure development with ecological preservation. The outcome of this notice could set important precedents for future projects and their environmental responsibilities.
