Expressing concern, the Supreme Court<\/a> has directed the Centre and Bihar government<\/a> to file status reports on the steps taken to clear illegal constructions<\/a> on the banks of the Ganges. A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V Vishwanathan<\/a> also sought to know the number of existing encroachments<\/a> as on date aside from the manner and time period in which the authorities proposed to remove them. <\/p>\n

“We would like to know what steps have been taken by the authorities to remove all such encroachments over the banks of river Ganga,” the bench said. <\/p>\n

The April 2 order went on, “We direct both the state of Bihar and the Union of India<\/a> to file an appropriate report so that we can proceed further in the matter.” <\/p>\n

The court was hearing a plea filed by Patna resident Ashok Kumar Sinha against a June 30, 2020 order of NGT<\/a> dismissing his plea against illegal constructions and permanent encroachments on the eco-fragile floodplains<\/a>. <\/p>\n

His counsel, advocate Akash Vashishtha submitted that large-scale illegal and unauthorised constructions and encroachments comprising housing settlements, brick kilns and other religious structures were coming up on the floodplains of the Ganga. <\/p>\n

There are large scale encroachments all over the banks which requires immediate attention and pointed out that some parts of this river banks are very rich in fresh water dolphins<\/a>, he added. The plea contended that the tribunal passed the order without examining the detailed particulars of the violators encroaching the floodplains. <\/p>\n

The top court has posted the matter after four weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
