Supreme Court Raises Concerns Over Rail Expansion Project In Goa
The Supreme Court’s Central Empowerment Committee on April 23 raised concerns over a rail expansion from Karnataka to Goa, citing environmental risks to the biodiversity of the Western Ghats. Crucial changes have been suggested by the committee for two approved projects including increasing road height to reduce animal killings in the wildlife belt. Moreover, the CEC recommended the modified usage of the 220 KV line for the Goa-Tanmar Transmission Project.
