Supreme Court Slams Rajasthan: CBI Probe Looms Over Jojari River Pollution
The Supreme Court has taken a strong stance against Rajasthan's failure to address pollution in the Jojari River, warning of a potential CBI investigation.
Supreme Court Slams Rajasthan: CBI Probe Looms Over Jojari River Pollution
In a stern rebuke, the Supreme Court has called out the Rajasthan government for its negligence in tackling the alarming pollution levels in the Jojari River. The apex court had previously mandated the state to "seal and dismantle" illegal discharge points contributing to the river's degradation, including bypass arrangements and various unauthorized channels.
Despite these clear directives, the state’s inaction raises critical questions: What happened to the promises made to safeguard our rivers? Why has the government failed to comply with the court's orders? With the threat of a CBI probe looming, citizens demand accountability from their leaders.
As reported by The Hindu, the court's warning underscores an urgent need for transparency and action in environmental protection. The health of our rivers, crucial for both ecosystems and local communities, hangs in the balance. Will the Rajasthan government finally take responsibility and act before it’s too late?
