Greens say Raigad Collector’s affidavit to NGT on Panje wetlands misleading

Hindustan Times  

City-based environmentalists have contradicted Raigad Collector’s claims in his affidavit to the National Green Tribunal that the choke points at Panje wetlands have been removed and tidal water flows freely. Environmentalists say Raigad Collector’s affidavit to National Green Tribunal on Panje wetlands is misleading. A day after the Collector made the claim, NGOs Shri Ekvira Aai Prartishtan and NatConnect Foundation have presented Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray with the GPS photographs shot on Wednesday morning and requested the government to take immediate action. The affidavit filed by Raigad District Collector Dr Mahendra Kalyankar with the NGT’s Western Zonal Bench has claimed, quoting an inspection done by the revenue and forest officials on October 27, that the choke points have been cleared and even the security cabins have been moved away.
