The Supreme Court’s appointed panel has emphasized the need for a detailed environmental study concerning the Gangotri route in the Chardham road project. The panel’s recommendation underscores the importance of assessing the potential ecological impact on this sensitive Himalayan region.
BRO Dismisses the Need for Environmental Study
Contrary to the panel’s stance, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has expressed that an environmental study is unnecessary for the Gangotri route. According to the BRO, existing measures and assessments are sufficient to ensure the project’s alignment with environmental standards.
Ongoing Debate Over Environmental Concerns
The differing opinions between the SC panel and the BRO highlight the ongoing debate over the balance between infrastructure development and environmental preservation in the Chardham project. The final decision on whether to conduct the environmental study remains a critical point of discussion.
