The Supreme Court Today admonished former Uttarakhand forest minister Rawat and ex-divisional forest officer for permitting illegal construction and tree felling in Corbett tiger reserve. The court criticized their blatant disregard for environmental laws and instructed the CBI to provide a status report on the investigation within three months. Additionally, a committee will evaluate the feasibility of tiger safaris in India’s national parks’ buffer zones. The Enforcement Directorate has conducted raids as part of the investigation.
