HC orders 3 Himachal districts to remove encroachments along Kiratpur-Manali highway

Kullu: The Himachal Pradesh high court has ordered the deputy commissioners of Kullu, Mandi, and Bilaspur districts to remove all encroachments along the Kiratpur-Manali highway. In an order in an ongoing case on July 21, Chief Justice G S Sandhawalia also directed the DCs of the three districts to submit reports on the status of encroachments along the highway in these two districts and take action. The court ordered the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to file a fresh affidavit regarding the provisions of the National Highways (Land and Traffic) Control Act, 2002, on encroachments and as "the state would have to take active steps to prevent encroachments along the highway". In the affidavit, the court ordered NHAI to provide details, including "who is to supervise the removal of encroachments and to what extent construction can be raised and with whose permission". The court directed NHAI to include in the affidavit information on the "extent of the distance any construction activity has to maintain from the centre of the highway so that necessary guidelines can be laid down". The HC observed in its order that state agencies and NHAI have an obligation to maintain the new highway and not permit "commercial establishments to come up and reduce the efficacy of the highway on which crores of rupees have been spent". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like $30K Goes a Long Way in This Clementi Condo squarerooms Read More Undo "The whole purpose of an easy movement for long-distance commuters on the highway should not be frustrated by encroachments," the HC observed. Bilaspur deputy commissioner Rahul Kumar, who was present during the hearing, tendered an unconditional apology to the court and informed through an affidavit that 49 encroachments were removed from the highway in Ghumarwin, Jhanduta, Naina Devi, and Sadar areas of the Bilaspur district. A 50km length of the Kiratpur-Manali stretch falls in Bilaspur district. Expressing disappointment over an affidavit filed by the Bilaspur DC, the high court, during a previous hearing on July 1, ordered him to appear in person in the court and explain the details of encroachments along the Kiratpur-Manali highway. The court order came on a petition filed in 2023 by Madan Sharma, the general secretary of Fourlane Visthapit and Prabahavit Samiti (FVPS), an organisation that works for the people displaced by highway projects. The petitioner had stated that the lack of footpaths, steel barricades, retaining walls, breast walls, and foot overbridges made the Kiratpur-Nerchowk highway highly accident-prone and unsafe for users. It may be mentioned that the NHAI recently identified as many as 91 illegal encroachments, including 50 temporary and 41 permanent structures along the highway that falls in the Bilaspur district, and served notices to encroachers. The illegal structures include hotels, shops, dhabas, liquor vends, commercial establishments, and many houses, some of which have been built almost on the edge of the highway, resulting in the creation of accident-prone areas. Opened to traffic in Aug 2023, the Kiratpur-Nerchowk section was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 11, 2024.

Has Bandhwari landfill overshot its area? Forest dept to probe, demarcate

1 2 G urgaon: The Bandhwari landfill site has seen an expansion over the past 18 months, extending well beyond its legally sanctioned boundaries, according to locals and activists. The landfill has purportedly encroached upon at least 20 acres, which residents claimed is part of the legally protected Aravali forest land, which is protected under Section 4 of the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA), requiring the forest department's approval for non-forest activities. The expansion has raised alarms, particularly due to the spread of leachate—a toxic liquid byproduct of decomposing waste—into the adjacent forest zone.

In response to this, a forest department team visited the site, instructing MCG to take immediate corrective measures to prevent leachate contamination. "Leachate is spilling into the Aravalis. We have told MCG to immediately take corrective steps," said Subhash Yadav, forest conservator (south Haryana). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The landfill now covers more than 30 acres, intensifying pressure on the authorities to enforce compliance with legal and environmental standards. Despite warnings held earlier, including those issued in March 2023, no substantial corrective actions have been taken. Environmental activists said the problems transcends waste management, highlighting encroachments on protected forest land by a govt agency. "This is not just about waste management anymore. It's a clear case of forest land being gradually eaten up by a govt agency itself," said Vaishali Rana, an environmentalist. Residents, like Harbir Harsana, express edfrustration over the encroachment and its impact on their communities. "Landfill has been encroaching on land which is not earmarked for it. Leachate is intentionally pushed towards our village. We have been suffering. We understand that MCG needs space to process waste, but they need to follow the norms. They have enough land, and they should stick to it. MCG is encroaching on land which doesn't belong to it," Harsana added. The landfill, originally spread over 28.9 acres and reaching a height of 38m, lacks a proper waste treatment facility. Despite this, approximately 2,200 metric tonnes of waste are added daily, exacerbating environmental concerns and threatening the surrounding ecosystem. In response to encroachment allegations, the forest department plans to conduct an official demarcation of the area to assess the extent of illegal expansion and determine if protected land has been compromised. The assessment will likely inform further actions or penalties if violations are confirmed. "We will carry out demarcation of the area and we will get it clear," said Raj Kumar, divisional forest officer (DFO). In September 2022, National Green Tribunal (NGT) had imposed an environmental compensation of Rs 100 crore on the Haryana govt for environmental damage caused by waste dumping in the Bandhwari forest area. The tribunal urged the state govt to implement corrective measures, leading to formation of an NGT panel. The panel recommended construction of a temporary wall and use of two acres for disposal of daily garbage from Gurgaon and Faridabad to manage the legacy waste effectively.

A temple, a mosque, and the harmony in between

1 2 Panchkula: In Panchkula, amidst the sacred chants of "Har Har Mahadev" echoing from the 500-year-old Saketri temple, a different kind of devotion unfolds, one that transcends religion and celebrates the unity of communities. As the holy month of Sawan progresses, devotees come to the ancient Saketri Mandir to offer prayers to Lord Shiva, especially on Sawan Shivratri, considered one of the holiest nights in Hinduism. But beyond the spiritual reverence lies a heartening tale of communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims who share the sacred space not just in prayer, but in everyday life. Right next to the temple stands a mosque, and just outside the mandir, rows of stalls bustle with activity, many owned by members of both communities. Among them is Jalal Uddin, a vendor originally from Uttar Pradesh. Having moved to Panchkula 18 years ago, Jalal has become a familiar face around the Mansa Devi and Saketri temples, setting up his stall every Shivratri. On a hot July afternoon, Jalal arranges colorful toy fans at his stall. Nearby, Seema, whose father has a prasad stall at Mansa Devi since 2005 and has set up a stall at Saketri for Shivratri, teases him: "You're selling a toy fan, but you yourself are sitting in this heat!" The two share a hearty laugh before Seema returns to attend to a customer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo These everyday interactions reflect a deep-rooted bond that has only strengthened over time. Kanta Rani, who sells prasad just across from a shop owned by Anwar Mohammad, says, "When there's a rush in the temple at night, these boys, including Anwar, help us manage the crowd. They hold sticks and allow people in batches, so things remain orderly." Anwar Mohammad, whose family runs four shops outside the mandir, shares a touching anecdote, "When there's a wedding in our community, the temple committee lends us utensils without hesitation. We help each other, that's how it has always been." KD Sharma, the Pradhan of the temple, echoes this sentiment with pride. "The Muslim community here is always ready to help, during big festivals or whenever we need them. We don't see differences. We live and work together." As the temple bells chime and incense diffuses through the air, the real offering at Saketri isn't just flowers or milk to Lord Shiva, it's the shared respect and brotherhood that bring these communities closer, year after year. Jalal, watching the evening crowd begin to gather, quietly says, "I have three children to feed and a family to support. That is my religion."
