An Express Investigation had earlier highlighted an internal assessment by the Forest Survey of India that revealed that the 100-m definition would remove protective cover from 90% of the hills, opening them up to mining and construction activities. We brought out a series of reports to show how the decision was opposed by several stakeholders, including the Supreme Court's own panel. Read our full coverage 👇 | | | |
