The National Green
Tribunal on Monday directed that no person or company will be allowed to carry
out stone quarrying or mining of any sort without the requisite environmental
clearance near the Sariska Tiger reserve in Rajasthan. It was hearing a petition
by Khayali Ram Chattiram, a resident of Alwar who claims that as many as 85
illegal stone quarrying units are operating within 10 km radius of the
sanctuary.
