💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India directed the Central Empowered Committee (CEC) to investigate allegations that an embankment on the Yamuna River near the Kalesar Wildlife Sanctuary in Haryana was built to facilitate illegal mining. The CEC will assess claims that the embankment diverted the river's flow from Haryana to Uttar Pradesh. The court ordered that the applicants share the application with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for their comments and set a hearing for late May.
