Judicial survey ordered of Assam coal mining site

Guwahati, Sep 9 (UNI) A division bench of the Gauhati High Court has ordered a judicial survey of an area near an eastern Assam national park where a unit of Coal India Limited (CIL) is said to be carrying out mining operations in violation of environmental laws.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice R.M. Chhaya and Justice Soumitra Saikia directed the Tinsukia district judge to study the Tikok Extension open cast project close to the Dehing Patkai National Park, a rainforest, and “record the proceedings whether any mining is taking place or not, and if yes, through and by whom”.
The 231.65 sq. km. national park straddling Tinsukia and Dibrugarh districts was notified in June 2021.
