💨 Abstract

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered Haryana to develop a comprehensive disaster management plan for riverbank settlements, highlighting the state's constitutional responsibility towards public welfare. The directive followed a dispute between Maharishi Markandeshwar Developers and the Haryana government over the reclassification of a flood-prone land from residential to agricultural, blocking the developer's application for a residential plotted colony.
