Centre notifies 7th draft for ecological zones in Western Ghats
The Centre has released its seventh draft notification for ecologically sensitive areas. This proposal aims to protect 56,825 sq km across six Indian states. States have raised objections, primarily Kerala, citing livelihood concerns. The draft allows for phased implementation, potentially speeding up the process. This initiative follows previous attempts since 2011 to conserve the fragile region.
