HP Govt decision draws flak

  • 26/04/2000

The controversial decision of the Himachal Pradesh Government lifting ban on green felling to mop up finances has drawn attention of environmentalists towards serious consequences of the move on the fragile Himalayan ecology. The repercussion of the move, according to the environmentalists, will disturn the fauna, flora and ecology of the Himalayan region directly affecting the water resources. The wildlife already in danger due to contraction of the green area will be further affected.
