Hindustan TimesThe Madras high court has made e-passes mandatory for people travelling to Tamil Nadu’s two hill stations – Ooty in Nilgiris district and Kodaikanal in Dindigul district — from May 7 to June 30. “We must note that human beings alone cannot exist on earth without bio-diversity.” Madras HC makes e-passes mandatory to enter 2 Tamil Nadu’s hill stations The status report filed by the government revealed that over 20,000 vehicles are entering the Nilgiris every day, which includes around 11,500 cars, 1300 vans, 600 buses and 6,500 two-wheelers during the peak summer season. It causes irreparable damage to the environment.” Following the system which was introduced during Covid-19 for people to obtain e-passes to move to different districts, the court passed the order but informed the government to allow all vehicles without restrictions. “Therefore, while the study is being undertaken, for the current year, without any restrictions on the number of vehicles entering the hill stations entry of vehicles can be regulated by granting e-passes,” the court said.
