The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday directed the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) to conduct a survey and assess the impact on wildlife due to the proposed diversion of 595.64 hectares of forest area for the broad-gauge railway line project.
The court also directed the NBWL to go through various reports submitted on the proposed project and other documents, and make an independent assessment of the impact of the project on wildlife.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum issued the directions to the NBWL following rival contention among the petitioners, the State and Central governments, and the organisations in favour of the project about the correctness of recommendation made by the State Board for Wildlife (SBWL) for diversion of forest land for the project.
