Uttarakhand High Court bans construction within 200 metre radius of rivers The Uttarakhand High Court banned all construction within a radius of 200 metre of the rivers in the state. The order was issued on a PIL by a division bench of the High Court, comprising Chief Justice Barin Ghosh and Justice Sarvesh Kumar. The court has also sought a reply from the state government detailing methods by which it plans to impose the ban on such constructions. The PIL was filed by a Rishikesh resident, challenging an earlier government order which though putting a ban on construction activities within 100 metre radius of the Ganga, exempted temples, dharamshalas and mutts from the ambit of the order. Order passed on 27th August 2013.
