💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has directed the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) to submit a report on the necessity of laying paver blocks on roads in Matheran, Maharashtra, to prevent soil erosion. The court is concerned about the potential motorization of Matheran, an automobile-free hill station. NEERI has been asked to examine the issue within four weeks, including whether paver blocks are essential, and if not, to suggest alternatives.
