New Delhi: The Supreme Court has directed the Pappinisseri mangrove park to stop all activities for a month. The SC directive comes while hearing a petition filed by the Union Forest and Environment Ministry on the Kerala HC staying the Environment ministry order on closing the mangrove park.
The SC ruled that the order by the Environment ministry to close the park without even issuing a notice to the Eco tourism committee, the owners of the park, is wrong. The SC requested the Environment ministry to issue a notice within a week to the Eco-tourism society and seek its reply.
On July 20, 2010, the Union ministry of Environment has ordered all construction works relating to the mangrove theme park in Pappinisseri to be stopped. The Kerala Divisional Bench had temporarily stayed the directive on August 19. In the midst of all these the Union Environment ministry had moved the Supreme Court.
