NGT stops mining in Madhav National Park
The National Green Tribunal ordered a halt to mining in the eco-sensitive zone around Madhav National Park in Shivpuri. It restrained the State mining department and district collector from granting mining leases in the protected area.
The order followed a petition by Abhay Jain of Zenith, who challenged advertisements inviting mining leases in the zone. The case connected ecological protection with the health and livelihood consequences of quarrying for nearby Sahariya communities.
