Orissa HC Hands Notices To State Govt Over Rising Olive Ridley Deaths
Considering media reports of mass death of the Olive Ridley turtles as PIL, the Odisha High Court has issued notices to the State government’s various departments. The media report has shown that over 800 Olive Ridley turtles have died since January 2020 at the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary, the world's largest sea turtle rookery. The court said, "...Despite several directions having been issued over the years, nothing much appears to have happened to improve the situation."
