New Delhi, Nov. 13 -- The Supreme Court on Thursaday directed that no mining activity will take place within national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and within one kilometre from their boundaries, extending the restriction across the entire country.
Reiterating its earlier order dated April 26, 2023, the court observed that although the restriction was initially imposed in respect of Goa in the Goa Foundation case, the same needed to be enforced on a pan-India basis to protect wildlife and ecological balance.
