Supreme Court Orders Elephant Corridor Survey Amid Habitat Destruction Concerns
The Supreme Court has ordered a nationwide survey of blockades and obstructions in elephant corridors. This action follows concerns raised by Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, who stated that elephant habitats and corridors are being systematically destroyed and the "will to protect is absent." A bench, including Chief Justice Surya Kant, clarified that states cannot obstruct elephant pathways citing harm to persons or property. The court's directive aims to address the systematic destruction of these vital habitats.
