The official of Coal India Limited, a Maharatna PSU under the Coal Ministry, further said in the order: “All necessary statutory formalities in this regard to be taken up with concerned statutory bodies.”

 

The conservationists, wildlife activists and various other socio-political and student organisations are demanding that coal mining activities be stopped to save Dehing Patkai rainforest.

On Thursday, the Gauhati High Court also accepted PILs which sought a stay order on all mining operations in Dehing Patkai.

However, the Chief Justice’s Division Bench stayed away from passing any interim order and it directed both the Centre and state government to submit all documents relevant to the matter.
