The Supreme Court has refused to stay a coal mining project operated by the Adani Group and owned by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL), in the biodiversity-rich Hasdeo forests in Chhattisgarh, saying it will not come in the way of development.
The area has witnessed protracted protests by the native tribal communities over environmental concerns and the impact mining activities could have on tribal rights.
Refusing to grant any interim relief, a bench of Justices B R Gavai and Vikram Nath made it clear that pending petitions challenging land acquisition for Parsa coal block in Hasdeo Aranya forest area shall not be treated as any kind of restriction against coal mining activities.
